Georgia moves back into the #1 spot of the Power Rankings after a big win over Tennessee. It may have been a turning point for the Bulldogs in Kirby Smart’s seventh season.
Georgia’s convincing win did not ruin Tennessee’s College Football Playoff chances, as they dropped down to only #5.
There are only four undefeated teams remaining. There could be a max of 3 at the end of the season since considering that Ohio State and Michigan face each other during Rivalry Week.
The Pac-12 continues to be deep. Oregon, USC, and UCLA are still playoff contenders.
