No. 1 Georgia? College football fans predict Bulldogs will jump Alabama after Texas game
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Alabama escaped Austin with a 20-19 win over unranked Texas. Nick Saban’s squad moves to 2-0, but its No. 1 ranking may not survive despite the close win. College football fans are now expecting to see defending national champion Georgia jump the Crimson Tide in the AP Top 25.
The Bulldogs were ranked No. 3 in the preseason polls, behind Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State. In Week 1, Kirby Smart’s squad blew out then-No. 11 Oregon while OSU defeated No. 5 Notre Dame 21-10.
Georgia is currently No. 2 in the AP Top 25. Saturday, UGA hosts Samford in an FBS-FCS battle of the Bulldogs in Athens.
Here’s a sample of fans on CFB Twitter predicting the Dawgs will be the new No. 1 in the next AP poll:

I bet Georgia fans are gonna be really gracious about being named No. 1

Even with Bama escaping Austin, TX with a win, IMO Georgia should move up to No.1 when they come to Columbia, SC next week.

Georgia always should have been No. 1 heading into the season. And obviously now. @steven_sipple

You would never see teams get wide on ‘bama last year. No matter here, Georgia is clearly #1

I’d be shocked if they were still No. 1 if Georgia rolls this weekend.
