Georgia did receive one of the 62 first-place votes after their dominant win over Alabama with No. 1 Indiana (13-0) receiving the rest of the first-place votes.
Next up for Georgia is a College Football Playoff game against either No. 6 Ole Miss or No. 18 Tulane. Georgia will play in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day against the winner of Ole Miss-Tulane. Ole Miss has already notched a win over Tulane this season.
The Bulldogs have ranked wins over No. 11 Alabama, No. 22 Georgia Tech, No. 6 Ole Miss, No. 14 Texas and No. 23 Tennessee this season. Georgia is the nation’s highest ranked one loss team in the poll, which is different from the playoff rankings, which put Georgia as the No. 3 seed behind Ohio State.
