The Bulldogs are coming off of a 10-3 win over the Clemson Tigers to begin their season in what some think was the biggest game of opening weekend. According to ESPN, Georgia received four first-place votes.

Clemson toppled down the list to No. 6, leaving the top four for the first time since 2017 prior to the Trevor Lawrence era.

Alabama solidified its spot at the top of the food chain after defeating Miami 44-13 last weekend and receiving 59 first-place votes, "up from the 47 it had in the preseason poll," per ESPN.
