The Georgia Bulldogs rank No. 1 in both the AP Top-25 and the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll for the first time since 2008.
Georgia has been nothing short of dominant all season, outscoring opponents 239-33 and have allowed only two offensive touchdowns through six games.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was asked about what that No. 1 ranking means. In typical Kirby fashion, he downplayed its importance.
“It’s just a number, right? I don’t see a plateau,” Smart said.
As nice as it is for fans to hold that top spot, Georgia’s not going to let it get to their heads.
After all, the College Football Playoff rankings don’t even come out until November 2. If Georgia does not beat its next two opponents, Kentucky and Florida, it won’t mean anything.
“The goal is to be number one at the end of the season. You always know that. Everybody’s goal is there, but to have an opportunity to do that you have to be in the top four. That’s the most critical part. We won’t get caught up in that and let you guys write about it. That’s not a burden we carry. The burden we carry is how we play.”
