The College Football Playoff released its 2nd set of rankings for the 2026 season on Tuesday night.
In an unsurprising move, the CFP Selection Committee ranked Georgia the new No. 1 team in the country following the Bulldogs’ dominant win over Ole Miss Saturday night. The Bulldogs are followed by undefeated Utah and 7-2 Alabama, which beat LSU in Baton Rouge to secure its 2nd straight win.
9 SEC teams are ranked in this week’s CFP Top 25, and 5 of those teams are projected to make the Playoff if the season ended today: Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
