AP Top 25: Georgia Bulldogs make case for why they’re No. 1 team in country
There will be a new No. 1 team in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 when the rankings are out Sunday.
The Associated Press Top 25 rankings are set to be released this weekend, with Georgia Bulldogs poised to become the new No. 1 team in the country. Their dominant performance against Ole Miss on Saturday, November 7, 2026, has solidified their case for the top spot. Georgia secured a convincing 42-7 victory over the No. 12 ranked Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi.
Currently, No. 2 ranked Miami is the top team in the country. However, their recent attempt at a comeback on the road against Notre Dame (No. 4 AP/No. 11 CFP) was unsuccessful. In their highly competitive game, Miami couldn't manage to secure a win, further highlighting Georgia's impressive performance.
Two undefeated teams, Utah and UCLA, are the only other teams that could potentially move into the top spot. The College Football Playoff rankings will be unveiled on Tuesday, giving fans a clear picture of the teams vying for the prestigious title.
