The Georgia Bulldogs are ranked No. 1 in the country for the first time since 2008. That season Georgia was ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll, but fell after an unimpressive Week 1 performance.
Georgia was last ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll during the season in 1982. Surprisingly, Georgia never held the top ranking during the 2017 season.
Kirby Smart has taken the Georgia football program back to the top ranking, which is an incredible accomplishment. Georgia’s work isn’t done yet. The Bulldogs face the No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats in Athens on Oct. 16.
The Georgia-Kentucky game is a contest between the last two unbeaten teams in the SEC.
Here’s how Georgia football Twitter reacted to the Dawgs being ranked No. 1:

Georgia fans, remember….you are FANS.
If you want to be excited about being ranked No. 1, then be excited.
Trust me, if we lose to Kentucky it won’t be because you tweeted “yay Georgia’s No. 1” to your 47 followers.
Be a fan, ignore the “that’s rat poison” crowd & Go Dawgs.
