Kirby Smart will do whatever it takes to gain an advantage over Georgia's opponent. And that includes pulling off the same stunt every year before their College Football Playoff games.
Geoergia held their media day at the Sugar Bowl earlier this week like they do before every playoff game, and after that they got to practice on the field in front of the media. This usually is a time where teams show off a bit and maybe highlight some thing they have been working on leading into this game, but not Georgia.
Smart did what he does every year and has his team do some yoga during the entire media viewing period.

Kirby Smart is outsmarting his way to a clear advantage over Ole Miss
It's obvious why Smart would make this decision. The last thing he wants to do is give Ole Miss any sort of advantage ahead of their matchup. The media isn't present for very long during this session, but they could report on injury updates or schemes that Georgia appears to be practicing. That is something Ole Miss would be able to take advantage of, so it's very smart for Georgia to not give anything away.
Georgia is a touchdown favorite over Ole Miss entering this matchup. That however is not stopping Ole Miss from entering this game with a lot of confidence as quarterback Trinidad Chambliss said that he felt they were the better team during their first meeting. That obviously is not true, but Georgia has the chance to prove him wrong and leave no doubt that they are in fact the much better team this year.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 pm EST on Thursday, Jan. 1. If Georgia wins they will advance to the semifinals and take on the winner for the quarterfinal matchup between Miami and Ohio State.
Whoever their next opponent is will make for another great matchup, but Georgia must first handle their business against the Rebels Thursday night.
