The College Football Playoff rankings are out ahead of Week 10. The back-to-back defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs check in as the No. 2 team in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Georgia football is ranked behind the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State’s wins over Notre Dame, Penn State and Wisconsin gave the Buckeyes the edge over the Bulldogs.
No. 2 Georgia will have opportunities to play tougher opponents over the next several weeks starting in Week 10 against No. 12 Missouri. After Georgia, the selection committee ranks Michigan as the nation’s No. 3 team, Florida State at No. 4 and the Washington Huskies as No. 5.
How did Georgia football social media react to the first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings?

Ohio State ranked No. 1: Aaron murray reacts
OSU at 1!
I don’t hate it. They are not the best team but the committee let’s us know they will base it off strength of schedule
UGA wins next couple weeks you will see that change

Committee gives UGA motivation for the Missouri game
#Georgia starts out at No.2 in the initial #CFB playoff rankings. #GoDawgs
Or basically “7-5”.— Rusty Mansell (@RustyMansell_) October 31, 2023
No love for Group of Five
Sorry lol, it was 6-2 Oklahoma State with a 33-7 loss to South Alabama. https://t.co/SVNyv0plrf

Georgia is in a good position
Could not have asked for a better opening ranking. #GoDawgs

Rankings this time of year don't matter
I’m okay with being #2 in October as long as we’re #1 in January. GO DAWGS.

Is the committee biased for or against Georgia?

They probably aren’t biased either way.
Ohio State's best win has not looked good
Ohio State at No. 1 because of a big win over overrated Penn State. Kirby is happy I am sure.

Penn State had a bad performance against Indiana, but pulled out a win in Week 9.
