ATHENS, Ga. — Well, Georgia-Tennessee is still going to be a colossal game, but maybe not in the same way the Bulldogs’ fans envisioned.
The first College Football Playoff rankings were released to great fanfare Tuesday night in the live show on ESPN. The Vols, who recently moved up to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll, leapfrogged both the Bulldogs and Ohio State in the first CFP rankings of 2022 to land at No. 1. Tennessee’s strength of schedule was considered higher than both teams.
The Bulldogs’ best win to date continues to be over Oregon, which they beat 49-3 in the season opener but hasn’t lost since. Tennessee beat Alabama last month in Knoxville and Kentucky last week, among other notable victories.
