Despite having a bye in Week 8, the Georgia Bulldogs moved up to No. 3 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Georgia moved up after the previously No. 3 BYU Cougars lost to the UCF Knights in overtime.
Georgia will play the No. 20 Florida Gators in Atlanta on Saturday, Oct. 31 as Georgia looks to get back on track with a win. Georgia lost its last game to the Auburn Tigers, who got crushed by LSU in Week 8.
The No. 1 Miami Hurricanes and No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes are the only teams ranked ahead of Georgia. No. 4 Indiana and No. 5 Utah round out the top five.
Georgia has a ranked win over No. 10 Alabama this season. The Bulldogs have remaining ranked games against Florida, No. 12 Ole Miss and No. 23 Missouri.
Week 8 did not feature as many upsets as Week 7,
but a pair of Big 12 undefeated teams lost in BYU and previous No. 5 Texas Tech. Previous No. 7 Ole Miss lost to Texas, who is now just outside the top-10 at No. 11. Previous No. 11 Tennessee lost to South Carolina in another notable upset.
