Georgia lands at No. 2 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of 2026
The 5AM Dunwoody team
If you bleed red and black, Georgia landed at No. 2 in the first College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday, behind only undefeated Miami. Undefeated Utah is third and defending champion Indiana is fourth.
Saturday's 27-8 win over Florida in Atlanta set the table. Georgia outrushed the Gators 217-48 and held running back Jadan Baugh to 38 rushing yards. USC's 30-18 upset of Ohio State paved the way for Georgia's No. 2 spot, and the Buckeyes are now No. 12.
