The Georgia Bulldogs landed fourth in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. UGA checks in as the first one-loss team thanks to their big wins over Notre Dame and Florida. Behind the Bulldogs are in the order: Alabama, Oregon, Utah, Minnesota, Penn State, and Oklahoma.
This week the Dawgs take on twelfth ranked Auburn in what should be a defensive battle. Barring a collapse, Georgia is heading to the SEC Championship Game to play Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers.
Following the release of the CFP Rankings, their were quite a few takes on who should be ranked where. Here’s some of the best ones:
Minnesota
• Undefeated
• Beat Top 5 (now Top 10) teamAlabama
• No ranked wins

LSU is atop the College Football Playoff Rankings for the first time.
LSU is the 4th different SEC school to top the CFP rankings (Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi State).
Only two non-SEC schools have ever been No. 1 in these rankings (Clemson, Ohio State). pic.twitter.com/zSHkWPpCqV

Minnesota jumps into the Top 10 at No. 8 in the CFP rankings.
The Golden Gophers' 9-spot jump from No. 17 to No. 8 is the biggest jump that any team has made into the Top 10 in the Playoff rankings. The previous largest was 6 spots: Ohio State in 2014 and Oklahoma State in 2015. pic.twitter.com/zNdp45PT6h

This would be a nightmare scenario for the CFP Committee:
ESPN just spent ten minutes on the exact scenario we discussed last night.
Except they were discussing which TWO of these three would make it https://t.co/oswJYZLi1k pic.twitter.com/LTMnKF2S8y

Thus scenario would be even worse if Ohio State lost to Penn State who went on to win the Big Ten.
