Paul Finebaum Says Georgia's Preseason AP Ranking Is 'Wrong'
The 2026 preseason AP Poll was released on Monday, and the Georgia Bulldogs found themselves with No. 3 position on the list.
ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum has expressed his belief that Georgia's preseason AP ranking of No. 3 is incorrect. During a SportsCenter appearance, Finebaum argued that the Bulldogs are outside of the three best teams in the country. He compared Georgia's ranking to that of the Alabama Crimson Tide during the Nick Saban era, stating that "it doesn't matter what we think; they’re just going to be ranked in the top three."
Finebaum noted that Oregon, Ohio State, and Notre Dame are the true top three teams in college football. Georgia faces Tennessee State in their opening game of the 2026 season on September 5th.
