While it is not the College Football Playoff poll, Georgia will enter bowl season with the No. 1 ranking in the Coaches Poll. The Bulldogs remained the No. 1 team in the Week 15 rankings following their 50-30 win over LSU.
Georgia will learn its playoff fate at 12 p.m. ET, but the Bulldogs are likely a lock to be the No. 1 seed. With the win over LSU, Georgia now has five wins over teams ranked in the top 25.
For the first time in program history, Georgia is now 13-0. And while the Bulldogs know they have more work ahead, they recognize the significance of winning their first SEC title since 2017.
“My focus has been on this because I told those kids, I don’t want one kid to walk out of our program without an SEC championship ring for their career,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “That was about to happen if we didn’t get that one. They said enough was enough tonight. They got ‘em one.”
As for the rest of the rankings, Michigan comes in at No. 2 after its big win over Purdue. TCU sits at No. 4 after the Horned Frogs lost their first game all season, falling to Kansas State in overtime. Ohio State is now No. 3, with Alabama coming at No. 5.
The two College Football Playoff games will be played in Atlanta and Glendale, Az. The Bulldogs will learn their opponent on Sunday at 12 p.m. ET. The announcement will be made on ESPN.
