Georgia football plummets in latest College Football Playoff rankings, drops out of at-large
ATHENS — The latest College Football Playoff rankings are out and the Georgia Bulldogs have taken a tumble.

Looks like their future dreams and manhood will be on the line this "Saturday in Athens".
Beat Tennessee and the Dawgs are comfortably in.. Have another game like that debacle in Oxford and we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.
IDK, they seem to say 'strength of schedule' (dawgs app have the #1 toughest) is NOT a factor for the committee - Booger seemed to poke fun at how the committee can pick and chose what's a factor to them. Plus they mentioned the score of a given game IS a factor. Odd IMO….
The committee didn’t follow their own guidelines this week. Strength of schedule and the Texas win didn’t make a bit of difference which, according to their rules, were completely ignored. They looked at losses instead of wins, which Georgia has better wins than nearly all the teams ahead of them. But, like ShoottheHooch has posted, beat tenn and tech, Georgia gets in. Go Dawgs!
Playoff round .5 starts Saturday night for the Dawgs. Round .6 is UMass and Round .9 is a pesky and to-be-respected GaTech. Win those and you get to round 1.
Four teams playoff, Georgia was always in consideration talks. The playoff extends to twelve teams and they are the first team out. It is a clear sign of the type pf season they are having and the makeup of the team as a whole.
Better be big wins, or forget about it! Guess injuries ran rampant through the dawgs this year! Doesn’t speak well of our backups!
It's also a sign of the committee's lack of credibility. Though to be fair, that's nothing new.
Every Dawg fan knows that UGA controls their own destiny, win out and we’re in. It’s fun to play the what-ifs and it-could-be’s, but I am still worn out from last year. Same scenario, let’s not kid ourselves that there’s something else.
The team knows it too. Trust in CKS, let’s get ready. We got this! Go Dawgs!
BTW - did you catch the hints from CKS about being load/home field adv Sat night! Let’s go fans, let’s bring it!
fair enough. Well let’s see if Ohio state gets the same treatment when Indiana wipes the grin of the Buckeyes. I guarantee you they will only drop 4 or 5 spots. The Dawgs have to win and win BIG to impress those Russian judges.
Yep, we all know the same thing and I'm sure the playoff committee does as well. They KNOW this isn't the final week so they can be more "loose" about where they put teams. There's little doubt that if we win out that we'll make the playoffs… although it is concerning that they have a lack of respect for Tenn as well. Coaches poll has them at #4, AP at #6 and Playoff at #7.
And, if we lose, then well… we're a 3 loss team and a Richt-like #15 ranking. Assist coach changes likely need to happen then.
the committee is starting to play “conference math” 1 group of 5, ND, big 12 champ, ACC champ equals 4. 4 from the B1G leaves 4 SEC schools. Regardless of “best 12””. They are concerned with optics. So for the dawgs to get in gotta not only win out, but Tx has to beat Txam. Cause we all know TX and OSU are going to get in.
Time to "Hunker down"
You know, one of my earliest memories of UGA football is our dawgs losing to Wake Forest in 1979. Since then I believe it's safe to say that the expectation of success has never been higher with the UGA football program outside of a few years that involved a fellow named Hershel. Kirby is a DGD and I believe in him.
