No. 1 Georgia moved to 4-0 after an ugly 39-22 win at home versus Kent State on Saturday. The Golden Flashes forced three UGA turnovers and put up 22 points, the most given up by the Bulldogs since Alabama’s 41 points in the 2021 SEC Championship game.
Quarterback Stetson Bennett went 27 of 36 for 272 yards, one rushing score and one interception. Receiver Ladd McConkey struggled mightily with a muffed punt, a lost fumble and three drops. The Dawgs’ run defense was exposed, and Kent State scored the first rushing touchdown the Bulldogs have given up this season while racking up 93 yards on the ground.
Georgia is No. 1 in both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25. But UGA fans may not want to get too comfortable with that ranking after Saturday’s performance. No. 2 in both polls is Alabama and No. 3 is Ohio State. Both have a chance to jump the Bulldogs. Bama is playing Vanderbilt and the Buckeyes are playing Wisconsin on Saturday night.

Based on how the AP voters have operated so far we should see Michigan and UGA both drop a spot or 2 in the rankings and Maryland and Kent State should crack the top-25.

So is UGA gonna fall in the rankings now that it was a 17 point W against Kent State?
— Coach Farmer (@Coach_TFarmer) September 24, 2022
If UGA doesn’t win by 40+ they should drop in rankings. Just like what happened with Alabama..

Hey college football fans, Georgia as of today has ZERO quality wins, NONE. Been trying to tell people Oregon sucks. South Carolina really sucks. Keep the dawgs at number 1 please. #RollTide

If Bama blows out Vandy we better go back to number 1. Georgia ain’t do what they wanted to do w Kent st

If Georgia number 1 after this I see what kind of years it’s going to be.

Didn’t think I would ask this question after today, but will Georgia stay number 1 after today or will they be jumped. Bottom line is there is only one time being number 1 counts.
— Dave Williams (@DWilliamsWJCL22) September 24, 2022
If Georgia stays number 1 after that ass performance I'm going to lose it
— Blake Elkins (@BlakeElkins87) September 24, 2022
So far we have learned Georgia is definitely not the number 1 team in the country. Probably the third or fourth best team in the SEC. Could even be 5th. Let’s please muzzle the GA fanatics till the “Dogs” prove something. Oregon was 4 games ago!

Please remove Georgia from the number 1 seed. Thank you.

Georgia is a fraudulent number 1, no team is unbeatable this year. This year is wide open in College Football

Georgia doesn’t deserve that number 1 ranking after this shit. They look bad and very vulnerable #KENTvsUGA
