The Bulldogs are ranked No. 1 in both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and AP Poll.

Georgia’s strength of record ranks No. 5, according to ESPN’s FPI. But it does have arguably college football’s most impressive win this season: A 49-3 hammering of Oregon, which ranks No. 8 in the initial rankings.

Ahead of Georgia is Tennessee (#1) and Ohio State (#2), who also rank in that order in regard to strength of record.

The top-ten is as follows:

  1. Tennessee
  2. Ohio State
  3. Georgia
  4. Clemson
  5. Michigan
  6. Alabama
  7. TCU
  8. Oregon
  9. USC
  10. LSU
