The initial College Football Playoff rankings were revealed on Tuesday night after nine weeks of play.
The Georgia Bulldogs, who are sitting at 8-0 with a matchup looming against the Tennessee Volunteers (8-0), checked in at No. 3 in the rankings.
That means it will be a top-three meeting this Saturday in Athens between the Dawgs and the Vols, who rank No. 1 overall.
Georgia has arguably college football’s most impressive win this season: A 49-3 hammering of Oregon, which ranks No. 8 in the initial rankings. However, the committee did not consider that better than what Tennessee and Ohio State have accomplished.
In total, the Southeastern Conference has 4 teams inside the top-ten with Alabama and LSU checking in highly as well.
