CFP committee failed Georgia in 3rd rankings of 2025

The third edition of the College Football Playoff rankings are out and Georgia is on the move for the first time this season. The committee’s first two rankings of the season put Georgia at No. 5 both weeks, but after a 35-10 win against Texas (and a loss from No. 4 Alabama) UGA moved up one spot to No. 4.

This is the ranking everyone expected for Georgia, but it isn’t the ranking they deserved. Sure Texas A&M is 10-0 and the last undefeated team left in the SEC, but the Bulldogs resume is good enough where they deserved to move past the Aggies in this week's rankings.

CFP committee failed to reward Georgia in 3rd rankings

Georgia has one of the best resumes in the country and no one can deny it. They have wins over Ole Miss, Texas and Tennessee and their one loss came in a close game to Alabama. So they more than deserve to be ranked inside the top four, but they have a great argument to be even higher than that.

Even though Texas A&M is still undefeated, they’ve hardly played anyone. They do have a very good win at Notre Dame, but their seven SEC wins have all come against teams in the bottom half of the conference standings. The Aggies will have a chance to prove themselves against Texas in two weeks, but until then they don’t deserve as much credit as they are getting.

But the CFP committee however decided that a 10-0 record with one good win is better than a 9-1 record with three good wins, and there’s nothing Georgia can do about it.

The Bulldogs will get a chance to prove themselves when the playoff begins, but for now they sit comfortably at No. 4 with as strong of a resume as anyone in the country.
