Undefeated Georgia football remains the No. 2 team in the country according to the College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday night. The top four didn’t change from the initial rankings a week ago:
- Ohio State
- Georgia
- Michigan
- Florida State
There was a possibility the Bulldogs would jump the Buckeyes after beating then No. 12 Missouri in Athens. But the committee wasn’t fazed by Ohio State’s struggles against Rutgers (6-3) in Week 10.
Alabama remains at No. 8 following a 42-28 win over then No. 14 LSU, which dropped four spots to No. 18.
Georgia has another chance to make a statement to the committee this week with No. 9 Ole Miss coming to town.
After the matchup with the Rebels, the Bulldogs will travel to No. 13 Tennessee (Nov. 18), which moved up four spots after beating UConn (1-8) at home.
With wins over Ole Miss and Tennessee, Georgia should play for the SEC championship as the No. 1 team in the nation.
Kickoff versus the Rebels is set for 7 p.m. ET, televised on ESPN.
