The No. 1 team in the country in Georgia’s eyes Associated Press Top 25 Voters.
Georgia was No. 1 in the AP poll last week, but was No. 3 in the first College Football Playoff rankings. And then The Bulldogs are coming off a win against Tennessee on SaturdayIt would be a shock if Georgia wasn’t No. 1 in both rankings.
Tennessee was the top-ranked team in the CFP poll, but tied for No. 2 with Ohio State in the AP poll. Following Saturday’s loss, the Volunteers dropped three spots to No. 5.
The SEC’s other big game had similar polling implications. LSU upset Alabama on a successful two-point conversion attempt in overtime. As a result, LSU moved up 8 spots from 15th to 7th in the AP Poll. Meanwhile, Alabama fell 4 spots to 10th.
The other major slide came in the AP poll Clemson follows its ugly road loss to previously unranked Notre Dame. Clemson dropped from 5th to 12th.
Behind Georgia, Ohio State held on at No. 2 despite a shaky performance on a rainy day in the Northwest. Michigan pulled past Rutgers with a strong second half, then moved up one spot to 3rd. TCU remains undefeated with a home win over Texas Tech and moves up 3 spots to 4th.
Oregon continued its winning streak and now moves up to No. 6, while two other one-loss Pac-12 teams — No. 8 USC and no. 9 UCLA.
Further down the rankings is Tulane at 16th. Tulane is the highest ranked Group of Five ahead of a big American Athletic Conference matchup with UCF, which moved up three spots to 22nd.
Other notable movers in the rankings include Liberty, Illinois and Kansas State. Liberty is now ranked No. 19, having dropped 10 spots to No. 23 following losses to Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan State and Kansas State to Texas.
Texas is one of the newest countries in the rankings. The Longhorns, who host TCU next weekend, are ranked No. 18. No. 20 Notre Dame, No. 24 Washington and No. 25 Florida State are also ranked again this week.
Wake Forest and Oklahoma State dropped out of the top 10 two weeks ago.
