Georgia football College Football Playoff rankings Week 10
ATHENS — The first College Football Playoff rankings have dropped, adding further debate going into Saturday’s game between No. Georgia Georgia and No. 1 Tennessee.
Comments
Well, I got the first 3 right... surprised about Clemson over Michigan...TCU gets no respect!
I'm glad Tennessee is number 1...... Because all pressure is on them and Saturday its put up or shut up time!
Kirby says he doesn’t look at rankings but I guarantee he knows about Georgia being only 3rd and the team we’re playing Saturday is 1. Motivational edge for us. Go Dawgs!!
You know what? I think UGA wins Saturday. Bennett will have a big game and UGA's front 7 will disrupt their rhytmn on offense. Tennessee is not as good as Alabama was last year. Possibly better coaching but less talent.
while it does not really matter, I have to say I am disappointed in the rankings. A dominating win against number 8 at a nearby field should certainly trump a near loss to the number 6 team on your home field. A regulation win against a poor Missouri team would seem better than having to play overtime against Pitt. A 20+ win against Florida in a stadium close to their campus vs a 5 point win against Florida at home should count more. The only edge I see going to Tenn is a win against a Jeckle and Hyde LSU squad. Please help me understand what I am missing.
I’m ecstatic that UT is #1 this week so all the rat poison is residing in Knoxville. It matters not because we need to beat UT Saturday no matter where we are ranked. I guarantee Kirby is the happiest coach in America right now after it was announced we were #3. Go Dawgs!!!
Really?? Ranked 3rd??!! Finally a challenge. IT'S ON!! LET'S GO DAWGS!!! 😈
Love how informed these experts are. They are actually talking about quality wins and yet they have Clemson in at #4?! ACC is terrible with no team deserving of a top 20 ranking period. Their only hope just got boat raced by Louisville this past week. They can’t even get a common-opponent assessment right - DAWGs rolled UF in a neutral site while UT gave up almost 600 yards and squeaked out with a win at home. Hopefully the DAWGS will settle this Saturday. Go DAWGs
Don’t worry about “quality” wins because we will beat the committee’s #1 team on Saturday. I rest my case 😉. Go Dawgs!
The great thing is this gets decided on the field Saturday. In the words of the great Evander Holyfield during a pre-fight media event with Mike Tyson "It don't matter what you say, we gonna fight anyway!" We'll know who the best team is by 7:00p Saturday.

Good grief man. UGA has 2 wins against teams over .500: Oregon and 5-3 South Carolina. The rest are 3-5 Vandy, 3-5 Auburn, 4-4 Missouri, and 4-4 Florida.
Meanwhile Tennessee has wins over 7-1 Alabama, 6-2 LSU and 5-3 Kentucky. Your other stuff is just nonsense. Your blowout win over Oregon is more meaningful than Tennessee's close win over Alabama? Not when everyone knows that Alabama would beat Oregon by 3 scores. UGA fans hype Oregon because you beat them but come on ... they're a Pac-12 program with Bo Nix at QB. They would be no better than .500 against SEC competition and you know it.
So all you have to hang your hat on is UGA beating Florida worse than Tennessee beat Florida. Stick to that and leave it there till Saturday. Otherwise you are claiming that a victory over Oregon is more meaningful than victories over top 10 Alabama and LSU teams, something that no one who has followed SEC football for 5 minutes would ever claim.
Clemson has beaten Alabama twice in championship games. One of them was an epic for the ages between two future starting NFL QBs (Deshaun Watson and Jalen Hurts) and the other one was such a blowout that Clemson actually took a knee in the red zone in the closing minutes (which Nick Saban infamously DID NOT DO against Texas ... and that was also a matchup between the current starting QBs of Miami and Jacksonville). When UGA is similarly accomplished, then you will have the right to belittle Clemson. The ACC is actually better now than it was when Clemson knocked off Bama the second time. Meanwhile the ACC was pretty good back in 2014, and the result was FSU getting run out of the stadium by Oregon in the first round.
Right. The same Alabama lucky to beat Texas and its back up quarterback. Show people you don’t really understand college football without saying you don’t understand college football. And LSU which couldn’t beat FSU at home. But yeah, a 11am game in Baton Rouge is a lot to be proud of.
I watched that LSU game and they played awfully. Kelly probably made another "executed" comment after that game.
If you doubt how few LSU fans were there, just find it on Youtube. It was NOT a hostile Death Valley environment like Sanford will be.
Pitt was the closest thing the Vols have experienced this year, but still nothing like Sanford will be.
