Georgia Moves to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 for the First Time Since 2024
Georgia is No. 1 in the AP Top 25 released Sunday, Oct. 11, up from No. 2, according to the Associated Press. The Bulldogs received 66 first-place votes from the 70-member media panel after their 20-17 win at Alabama.
It is Georgia's first time at No. 1 since Sept. 8, 2024. Texas dropped six spots to No. 7 after losing to Oklahoma. Notre Dame is No. 2, Miami is No. 3 and Alabama is No. 6.
Why It Matters for Atlanta Professionals
A No. 1 Georgia team drives watch parties, alumni events and game-day spending across metro Atlanta for the rest of the fall, and it puts the Bulldogs at the center of the national playoff conversation.
