There are a number of one-loss teams currently battling it out for the No. 4 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Georgia currently holds the No. 4 spot, followed by Alabama, Oregon and Utah. Then there’s Penn State and Oklahoma.

On SportsCenter on Saturday morning, analyst Kirk Herbstreit said he thinks the Bulldogs are the top one-loss team in the country, but added that they need to win the SEC title game to make the Playoff field (via The Spun):

“I think you’ve got to give Georgia the nod right now,” Herbstreit said. “If they end up losing the (SEC title) game, it opens up the discussion for the Big 12 champ, the Pac-12 champ and Alabama.”

Georgia still controls its own fate, but beating LSU in Atlanta won’t be easy.

Can the Bulldogs avoid an upset at the hands of Texas A&M this weekend? Tune in to CBS at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time to find out.
