College Football Playoff rankings: UGA drops a spot

After another week off, the Georgia Bulldogs slid from No. 8 to No. 9 in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings

After another week off, the Georgia Bulldogs slid from No. 8 to No. 9 in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings. Two-loss Iowa State jumped Georgia to move up to No. 7. The Cyclones opened the season with a blowout defeat against Louisiana Lafayette.

The top-five remained the same. There has been very little change at the top this season:

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State
5. Texas A&M

Georgia is one of five SEC teams in the top-25. Florida sits at No. 6 and the Missouri Tigers, Georgia’s next scheduled opponent, moved into the No. 25 ranking after a shootout win over Arkansas.

The Dawgs’ offense has been on another level with JT Daniels at quarterback. There aren’t eight teams that are better than Georgia. But with two loses, Georgia’s College Football Playoff hopes have been dashed.

The full top-25 is as follows:

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State
5. Texas A&M
6. Florida
7. Iowa State
8. Georgia
9. Cincinnati
10. Miami
11. Oklahoma
12. Indiana
13. Coastal Carolina
14. Northwestern
15. USC
16. Iowa
17. North Carolina
18. BYU
19. Louisiana Lafayette
20. Texas
21. Colorado
22. Oklahoma State
23. North Carolina State
24. Tulsa
25. Missouri

Overall, much of college football’s drama is slated for next week. The SEC Championship and ACC Championship will have a huge influence on the College Football Playoff.
