Georgia's US LBM Coaches Poll ranking after win over Alabama

The Georgia Bulldogs are the new No. 1 team in college football after winning on the road against the Alabama Crimson Tide

Georgia's US LBM Coaches Poll ranking has been boosted to No. 1 following their victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Bulldogs had previously been ranked 2nd, but this win pushed them to the top spot. They received 60 of the 74 first-place votes in the latest poll. In a significant win for the season, Georgia defeated Alabama 20-17, a game that the Crimson Tide remained at No. 7.

Georgia now faces two ranked opponents remaining on their schedule: No. 10 Ole Miss on the road and No. 13 Missouri at home. With this win, Georgia has established itself as the leader of the SEC, as no other Southeastern Conference team is currently undefeated after the Week 6 action. Coach Kirby Smart emphasized the physicality and difficulty of the upcoming game against Alabama, stating that it would be "physical, it’s gonna be tough."
