The 12-person selection committee on Tuesday Nov. 11, kept Georgia at No. 5 after its 41-21 win at Mississippi State, a game where the Bulldogs reeled off 38 straight points.
Georgia (8-1) will have a chance to get two more quality wins starting Saturday when it faces CFP No. 10 Texas (7-2) in a 7:30 p.m. game in Sanford Stadium.
Bulldog offensive tackle Monroe Freeling said earlier Tuesday he sometimes check on where Georgia lands in the CFP rankings.
“You can take a look at them, but you know kind of focus on the game ahead of you,” Freeling said. “The rankings are rankings but I don’t really concern myself much with them.”
Georgia is in good shape to make the 12-team playoff if it wins two of its final three games.
Georgia has another top 20 opponent remaining on the schedule, as Georgia Tech is at No. 16 in this week’s rankings. The in-state rivals play on Nov. 28.
