On Thursday, the first Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports was released for the 2019 college football season.
The Georgia Bulldogs check in at No. 3 in the inaugural rankings for the 2019 season. That’s right about where most expected Georgia to be, coming off an 11-3 year that included a 35-28 loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game.
Occupying the No. 1 spot in the rankings are the defending champions, the Clemson Tigers, followed by Alabama at No. 2.
Rounding out the top-five is Georgia, Oklahoma and Ohio State.
Looking ahead to Georgia’s schedule, the Bulldogs will face four teams ranked inside the preseason top-25; five if you include Alabama.
