Georgia Lands Top Spot in Second College Football Playoff Rankings

Georgia leaped to the No. 1 spot in the second College Football Playoff rankings that were released Tuesday.

After a stunning slew of losses in Week 10, three of the top six teams from last week—Tennessee, Clemson and Alabama—fell in the rankings while their competitors rose. It also marks the first time in the history of CFP rankings that neither the Crimson Tide nor the Tigers ranked in the top six teams.

Georgia, which entered its SEC East clash with former No. 1 Tennessee ranked No. 3 in the first CFP rankings, defeated the Volunteers 27–13 in a raucous environment Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
