CFP rankings reveal for Georgia football. See where the Bulldogs landed in second bracket

A 24-team playoff field is coming in the 2027 season, but Georgia football wants to make a run to win it all in the final 12-team playoff.

The second College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday in a 9 p.m. show on ESPN.

Georgia, No. 1 in the coaches and AP poll, could find itself in that same spot in the selection committee’s order after ranking No. 2 in the top 25 debut last week. The Bulldogs could move up after top-ranked Miami's 31-24 loss at Notre Dame.

Georgia last was No. 1 in the CFP on Nov. 28, 2023 when it was 12-0 before losing in the SEC Championship game to Alabama and falling to No. 6 in the final rankings.

“I don’t feel like a ranking really should impress anybody or make anybody feel big,” Georgia safety Rasean Dinkins said Tuesday. “I just feel we’ve got to go week by week, take it step by step.”

Georgia dominated Ole Miss 42-7 Saturday night in Oxford.

The Bulldogs (8-1) return home to play Missouri Saturday at 3:30 p.m., and then close out SEC play at South Carolina on Nov. 21.

“Zero doubt that they’re the benchmark for the league right now and the way Coach (Kirby) Smart runs his program, the philosophical identity he has in offense, defense and special teams,” Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said on Tuesday. “The way his team plays consistently down in and down out. It’s what everybody in our conference is chasing.”
