Georgia ranked in no. 1 of second College Football Playoff rankings

The second edition of the 2026-27 College Football Playoff rankings was released on Nov. 10, and the Georgia Bulldogs earned their No. 1 spot in the rankings.

They had a dominant 42-7 win against the Ole Miss Rebels, who were ranked a top-10 team by the College Football Playoff when Georgia faced them. The Bulldogs now have two wins against teams in the top 25 this week (No. 3 Alabama, now No. 19 Ole Miss).

Week 11 will give the Bulldogs another team in the top 25: the No. 22 Missouri Tigers. They aren’t as battle-tested as Ole Miss; Missouri lost at home to the No. 6 Texas Longhorns 34-20, and their strongest win of the year has been against a 5-4 Florida Gators team. However, with Georgia’s loss to unranked Auburn earlier in the year, no game can be taken lightly.

Speaking of the SEC, there are a lot of teams from the SEC that are currently in a spot in the College Football Playoff. Along with Georgia, No. 3 Alabama, No. 6 Texas, No. 8 Tennessee, and No. 11 Kentucky are all in CFP spots. No. 17 South Carolina is close by too, and Ole Miss (No. 19), LSU (No. 21), and Missouri are all ranked in the top 25 too.

There was a lot of movement. Miami fell to No. 7 in the rankings after their loss to Notre Dame, which rose to No. 5. Kentucky fell to No. 11 after their loss to Tennessee, who rises to No. 8. Indiana drops five spots from No. 4 to No. 9 after winning against Minnesota, and BYU falls to No. 10 after losing to No. 2 Utah.

As it stands, Georgia would get a first-round bye, since they’re the No. 1 team in the country. They would face the winner of the game between No. 8 Tennessee and No. 9 Indiana, so it’d either be a reignition of one of the best SEC rivalries or a matchup against the defending national champions.
