AP Top 25 poll: Georgia jumps to No. 1 in college football rankings after edging Alabama in SEC showdown

  • 1 in the AP Top 25 poll after a 20-17 victory over Alabama, earning 66 of 70 first-place votes.
  • Texas fell to No.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Georgia began the 2026 season with lighter competition before facing Alabama as a defensive test.

Font size

Georgia claimed the No. 1 spot in the new AP poll on Sunday after outlasting Alabama 20-17 in an SEC showdown on Saturday. The Bulldogs claimed 66 of 70 first-place votes while rising to the top spot for the first time since the 2024 season.

Beating Alabama validated UGA after a light beginning to the Bulldogs' 2026 season. Georgia's first three SEC opponents were the league's three lowest-rated offenses, and facing the Crimson Tide marked a test for the UGA defense. They passed that test to reach 6-0 (4-0 SEC) ahead of a Week 7 home game wit Auburn.

Texas dropped six spots to No. 7 after falling to Oklahoma in the Red River Showdown. The Longhorns were one of three SEC schools to take major falls this week. LSU dropped 12 spots to No. 22 after losing at Kentucky, and Florida dropped out of the poll after falling at South Carolina.

Kentucky was the biggest riser in this week's poll, surging from unranked to No. 15. Close behind was UCLA, which vaulted nine spots after taking down Oregon on the road. The Ducks fell out of the poll after dropping to 3-2.

49ers vs. Seahawks prediction, odds, time: NFL Week 5 picks from proven model

The unbeaten San Francisco 49ers travel to Seattle to face the 3-1 Seahawks in an NFC West matchup, with Brock Purdy leading a 4-0 San Francisco offense and a defense ranked seventh in yards allowed. Seattle's Sam Darnold leads a top-ranked defense that allowed just nine points in last season's sweep en route to a Super Bowl title. SportsLine's predictive model, which simulates each NFL game 10,000 times, projects over 46.5 total points and has generated over $7,000 in returns for $100 players since 2024. Key factors include Nick Bosa's absence for the 49ers and Jaxon Smith-Njigba's strong start for Seattle, with both teams featuring high-powered offenses despite elite defenses.
