The second College Football Playoff Rankings of the 2026 season have been released, and the Georgia Bulldogs have climbed to No. 1 in the latest Top 25 unveiled by the selection committee.
Georgia moved into the top spot following a dominant 42-7 road victory over then-No. 10 Ole Miss. The Bulldogs also benefited from then-No. 1 Miami’s 31-24 road loss to then-No. 11 Notre Dame.
Georgia is followed in the rankings by No. 2 Utah, No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 UCLA, and No. 5 Notre Dame. Texas, Miami, and Tennessee sit just outside the top five at sixth, seventh, and eighth, respectively.
