After Georgia’s dominant 30-15 victory over No. 1 Texas, the Bulldogs moved up to No. 5 in the latest AP Poll. Despite not overtaking the three Big Ten teams ranked above them (Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State), Georgia’s impressive win propelled them past Alabama, who fell after a loss to Vanderbilt. Georgia is in a strong position heading into the rest of the season.
Georgia jumps to No. 2 in latest AP Poll
I understand your perspective on Georgia’s position in the rankings, especially with their big win over Texas. A case could definitely be made for Georgia at No. 2, given the strength of their performance, and Oregon’s jump to No. 1 is understandable after their win over Ohio State. As things progress, Georgia seems well on track for a College Football Playoff spot, especially if they secure the SEC championship. It’s shaping up to be a competitive finish, and Georgia looks strong heading into the later part of the season.
Who else is ranked on Georgia’s schedule?
With five games remaining, Georgia faces two ranked teams: Ole Miss, who stayed at No. 18 after their bye, and Tennessee, who moved to No. 7 after defeating Alabama 24-17. Ole Miss is up first, and then Georgia will take on Tennessee, both key matchups as the Bulldogs pursue an SEC championship and a likely College Football Playoff spot. After their road win over Texas, Georgia’s confidence should be high, but Kirby Smart knows the challenges ahead are significant.
