The Georgia Bulldogs are rising in the College Football Playoff bracket after a thriller eight overtime 44-42 win against Georgia Tech. Georgia rises to the No. 7 seed and are ranked No. 5.
Miami and Ohio State lost their respective games last week in the very intense, emotional rivalry week. These losses helped Georgia rise up two spots to be within the thick of the playoff picture.
Georgia has three wins against top-25 teams (No. 2 Texas, No. 7 Tennessee, and No. 17 Clemson).

Georgia is slated to host the Indiana Hoosiers, the No. 10 seed, in the first round on Dec. 20 or 21. With a win this Saturday in the SEC championship the Bulldogs have a chance to take the No. 2 seed in the bracket. A loss would likely see UGA drop a few spots.
