The Georgia Bulldogs entered Saturday’s game ranked No. 2 in the country. After a dominant win over Ole Miss the Bulldogs have finally jumped the Ohio State Buckeyes for the top spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. The rest of the top eight remains the same.
The Bulldogs have added two ranked wins to their resume. The wins against Missouri and Ole Miss look great. Missouri moved up to No. 9 in the current rankings after a dominant win against Tennessee. Ole Miss dropped to No. 13 after the loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs’ upcoming opponent, Tennessee, fell to No. 18.
Alabama remains at No. 8 in the rankings and it’ll be the last domino standing in Georgia’s path to the playoffs. The matchup against the Crimson Tide will be critical in Atlanta on Dec. 2 in the SEC championship.
Social media reacts to Georgia’s return to the No. 1 spot:

Georgia's win over Missouri looks better everyday
Most significant move is Missouri from No. 14 to No. 9. If Tigers beat Florida and Arkansas, Mizzou is guaranteed a New Year's 6 bowl – either Fiesta, Peach or Cotton

The Bulldogs won 30-21 over the Tigers two weeks ago. That win is looking more impressive each week as the Tigers rise in the rankings. The Tigers are No. 3 in our SEC power rankings.
