Georgia fans react to College Football Playoff ranking in Week 12

It feels like everything is right with the world again. The Georgia Bulldogs are back to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Bulldogs pounded Ole Miss 52-17 in Week 11 coming off a win over Missouri and the committee has finally seen enough.

The Missouri Tigers were a big help. Georgia won that head-to-head in Week 10 30-21, but Mizzou followed up that performance with a 36-7 win over Tennessee which catapulted Eli Drinkwitz’s team to No. 9 in the rankings. 

UGA beat two of the better teams in the country while Ohio State was running roughshod on Rutgers and Michigan State.

Really, when you win back-to-back national championships, the excitement of being No. 1 in the rankings isn’t the same as it is for other teams. There are UGA fans that would have been fine to stick at No. 2.

There is only one thing on the mind of Georgia fans, and it’s certainly not being the No. 1 team in the country in Week 12. First, it’s beating Alabama in the SEC Championship game.

Then, it’s winning another national championship.

A three-peat is on the table for this team. Georgia not only dominated Ole Miss, when the Rebels were ranked No. 9, but Carson Beck continued his great season. A change a quarterback seemed like the only thing that could slow down this dynasty, but Beck threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout win.

Georgia gained a staggering 611 yards and 10.0 yards per play against Ole Miss. The Rebels are an SEC contender and Beck’s offense averaged a first down on every single play. It doesn’t get more dominant than that.
