USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll released: Georgia drops after loss to Alabama

Things got ugly in Atlanta on Saturday for the Georgia Bulldogs, losing the SEC championship 41-24 to Alabama.

The good news for Georgia is that the Dawgs technically had a mulligan game, meaning a loss was not the end of the world. The bad news is that they looked really, really bad and have a lot of work to do if they want to even compete in the playoff.

On Sunday, the USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll was released and Georgia fell from No. 1 to No. 3.

The top-ten is as follows:

  1. Alabama
  2. Michigan
  3. Georgia
  4. Cincinnati
  5. Notre Dame
  6. Baylor
  7. Ohio State
  8. Ole Miss
  9. Oklahoma State
  10. Michigan State

Georgia also checked in at No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings, which featured the exact same top-five as the Coaches Poll.

Georgia will play Michigan in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Eve.
