Social media reacts to Georgia’s College Football Playoff ranking

The Georgia Bulldogs entered Saturday’s game ranked No. 2 in the country. After a dominant win over Ole Miss the Bulldogs have finally jumped the Ohio State Buckeyes for the top spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. The rest of the top eight remains the same.

The Bulldogs have added two ranked wins to their resume. The wins against Missouri and Ole Miss look great. Missouri moved up to No. 9 in the current rankings after a dominant win against Tennessee. Ole Miss dropped to No. 13 after the loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs’ upcoming opponent, Tennessee, fell to No. 18.
