Undefeated Georgia football jumped the Ohio State Buckeyes for the No. 1 spot in the third College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs’ 52-17 win over No. 9 Ole Miss proved enough to eclipse Ohio State, which had sat atop the rankings the first two weeks. The top four:
- Georgia
- Ohio State
- Michigan
- Florida State
Georgia has two top-13 wins under its belt with Missouri moving up to No. 9 after a 36-7 win over No. 13 Tennessee, and Ole Miss dropping from No. 9 to No. 13 after losing in Athens.
The stage is set for the Bulldogs to add to their resume in Week 12 with a matchup at No. 18 Tennessee on the schedule. The Volunteers dropped five spots after a 36-7 loss at Missouri last week.
Looking ahead to the SEC championship, Alabama remains No. 8 in this week’s rankings after a 49-21 win at Kentucky.
Kickoff versus the Volunteers is set for Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on CBS.
