We tried, we thought, we wanted. But ultimately, like Thanos, Georgia is inevitable.
The Dogues’ 27-13 win over No. 1 Tennessee has never been as close as the final score, revealing Georgia to be by far the best team in the country. athletic 131.
Georgia has played on its food against Kent State and Missouri, but after all, in the big places, nothing can match its depth and talent. It should be allowed to leave 2-4 spots open.
Tennessee still has a shot at CFP, even if they lose. Georgia’s chances of winning the SEC probably increased when LSU beat Alabama in overtime, and the Vols have a lawsuit if Tennessee ends 11-1 on that loss alone. Don’t forget that he blew out the door of his LSU with his rouge.)
But there is only one No. 1 case. Despite losing his picks in his NFL draft to a record 15 from last year’s team, Georgia is still out and he scored one touchdown in a former Top 60 recruit. Marcus He was able to throw his pass for a touchdown to Rosemy his Jack Saint. His career begins Saturday. Tight end Brock Bowers may be the most talented player in the country. Quarterback Stetson Bennett said he threw for 226 yards in the first half, and he only attempted four passes in the second half as the Dawgs melted the clock.
Georgia ranks second in 247Sports’ team talent ratings, with only Alabama and Ohio coming close to the Dawgs. Georgia likely won’t have to face Alabama as the Tide suffered his second loss this year, and Ohio State has rarely been tested. Kirby Smart built Georgia into a death star like Alabama.
Georgia may be inevitable, but there is nothing else in this sport. After another wacky weekend, here it is, Week 11 edition. athletic 131.

Last week, I was surprised to see that the CFP Commission placed Ohio State University in second place. The Buckeyes have moved up to No. 3 here this week, but at Northwestern he’s reluctantly after an ugly 21-7 victory. Yes, the weather was bad, but the Buckeyes struggled to run the ball at times and weren’t dominant, but the win against Notre Dame saw Fighting his Irish beat Clemson to his 35-14 lead. It seems to be getting better over time after being controlled with . Still, I continued to lead Michigan, which he moved to second. The Wolverines have started slow in recent weeks, trailing at halftime at Rutgers on Saturday, but have never been in danger of losing. A weak nonconference schedule hurts, but it doesn’t matter in the end if you close out with Illinois and Ohio. The Michigan and Ohio winners will almost certainly be in his CFP, and the losers will need help.
TCU moved up to fourth after another comeback, 34-24 against Texas Tech. People were worried about his 7th place in the CFP, but if he wins the game, he’ll be fine. The 9-0 Horned has lost his fifth straight game with his Frogs, and in the last three he’s won by double digits. They also own his two-game lead over the rest of the Big 12, nearly securing his place in the Big 12 title in his game. If TCU wins, it’s in. Even if you drop the game before then, you still have a chance if you beat the Big 12. A trip to Texas and Baylor will be a big challenge.

A win over Alabama moved the Tigers into the top 10, though LSU was far below the CFP Commission last week. LSU currently beats Mississippi, Ole Miss, and Alabama. Those are very good wins and that’s why the Tigers are ahead of USC and UCLA. (Oregon famously beat UCLA.) He didn’t include LSU in his list of potential playoff teams because no team lost two last week, but the Tigers now have an outside shot. I have.
USC and UCLA are difficult to evaluate against each other. USC’s only loss was a close one on the road in Utah. UCLA easily beat Utah, but they also lost a lopsided game in Oregon, where USC doesn’t play in the regular season. This eventually unfolded as Michigan and Ohio took hold on the field on November 19th.
11-25
Alabama dropped out of the top ten. With so much close quarters, a scenario where Alabama is still undefeated or four is possible. The bottom line is that this Bama team isn’t that good compared to past seasons, with major weaknesses in receivers and defense. fell while another (Florida) looked better. North Carolina is his 8-1, while Virginia is his 31-28. Texas also held Kansas State where he barely held 34-27, setting up his big home game against TCU next week. North Carolina State beat Wake Forest his 30-21, going 3-1 as Devin Leary suffered a season-ending injury.
The Liberty finished in the top 25 with a 21-19 victory over Arkansas. However, the Flames are not eligible to participate in the G5 New Year’s Six bid as an independent team. Illinois lost to Michigan State, where he lost 23-15, and on fourth down he lost 6-1, whiffing on a punt. Two years after Miami won his 52-10, Florida State he beat Miami 45-3. This shows the direction of these programs. The Seminoles are bowl eligible for the first time since 2019.
UCF had the widest gap with CFP’s ranking (25th). athletic 131 (No. 46) Last week. Louisville’s defeat, which had weighed on the Knights, is no longer the case with the Cardinal’s turnaround. At home he had wins over SMU and Cincinnati, with a touring Memphis pushing the Knights into the top 25. Next up is the big game at Tulane.
26-50
Oklahoma, Oregon, Wake Forest and Syracuse dropped out of the top 25 with losses. Baylor (who beat Oklahoma) and Notre Dame (who beat Clemson) are nearing the top 25. Coastal his Carolina defeated Appalachia State for their first substantial victory of the season, and Chants finally entered the top 30.
Notre Dame and Louisville are difficult to rank. Ireland beat Clemson and Notre Carolina but lost to Marshall and Stanford. Louisville beat UCF and Wake Forest and lost to Boston College. Ultimately, both have been on an upward trend since the beginning of the season, so there is weight.
Kansas finally rebounded with a win over Oklahoma State. The Cowboys didn’t have his starting QB, but so did Kansas.
Maryland defeated Michigan, who beat Wisconsin, who beat Maryland on Saturday, so sort those three teams in any way you like. Duke was bowl-eligible in his first season as Elko’s head coach over Mike, after beating Boston his college 38-31, and Blue his Devils into the top 50.
51-75
BYU ended their four-game losing streak with a 31-28 victory over Boise State, ending the Broncos’ four-game winning streak. SMU beat Houston 77-63 in his highest scoring FBS game in regulation modern college football history. Texas A&M has lost five games in a row, most recently he lost 41-24 at home to Florida while the Aggies battled the flu bug. North Texas is bowl eligible and is 10-1 in its last 11 Conference USA games, including a 52-14 victory over the FIU on Saturday.
76-100
After a 45-3 loss to Florida State, Miami will fall even further if almost every team below the Hurricanes does not lose. Memphis narrowly lost to his UCF and moved up in the rankings thanks to losses in Middle Tennessee (Louisiana Tech) and Miami. Fresno State won four games in a row after his 55-13 victory over Hawaii.
UConn went 5-5 after defeating UMass, their most wins in a season since 2015. Ohio is bowl-qualified with his 6-3 record and leads the MAC East division after beating Buffalo 45-24. Virginia Tech lost to Georgia Tech in the fourth quarter as he took an 11-point lead. The Hawkeyes lost six in a row for the first time since 1987.
101-131
Bowling Green is 4-1 in the MAC, but is 5-2 after losing seven overtime games to Eastern Kentucky. The regular season finale against Ohio could be for the MAC East title. His 54-28 win for Temple over USF was one of his most spectacular scores of the weekend, dropping the Bulls near the bottom. USF subsequently fired coach Jeff Scott. UMass, he remains in 131st place after losing to UConn.
