Georgia is operating with ruthless efficiency, and it's a level that no one else in the country has displayed as consistently so far this season.Ģ. Georgia (Last week - 2): The Bulldogs have now outscored their first two opponents 58-3 in the first half alone, cruising to comfortable, depth-building wins against both Oregon and Samford.
Here's how we believe the new AP Top 25 poll will look Sunday.ġ. 25 Houston have made the rankings much more fluid. Falling to an unranked team at home is grounds for getting dropped from the top 25 altogether after most weeks, but additional losses by No. 8 Notre Dame should land after taking respective major upset losses as double-digit favorites against Appalachian State and Marshall in Week 2. The most uncertainty exists further down the rankings as voters will try to determine where No.
1 until one of the top three teams takes a loss. From here on out, each week is a referendum on who is No. 1, but the notable gap that existed in the preseason has closed. 1 as we're predicting, the margin will be significantly closer. If Georgia does not end up jumping to No. If the Tide lost votes to the reigning champions while winning 55-0 against Utah State, they're almost certainly going to drop more after Georgia topped Samford 33-0 in Week 2. Some of Alabama's first-place votes from the preseason rankings already went Georgia's way after the Bulldogs' Week 1 win against Oregon. On the other hand, Alabama's sloppy showing (15 penalties!) as a 20-point favorite to a previously unranked team is likely to impact its standing as the top team in the country. The fact that the 'Horns pushed the Crimson Tide to the limit could actually garner more votes for Steve Sarkisian's team than it received last week when Texas finished 28th team in voting points. 1 Alabama kicked a game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining to escape with a 20-19 win over unranked Texas and claim a victory over a Longhorns team that lost starting quarterback Quinn Ewers to injury in the first quarter. Three top 10 teams lost on the same day (two of them to Sun Belt opponents) but it was a near-upset in Austin, Texas, that could lead to the most headline-worthy change in the rankings. The college football rankings are set for a major shake up when the AP Top 25 is updated Sunday as the voters have to react to numerous massive upsets that happened (as well as other upsets that almost happened) during a wild Week 2.
