Twitter reacts to Georgia’s No. 3 ranking in initial CFP rankings
The initial College Football Playoff rankings were revealed on Tuesday night after nine weeks of play.
The Georgia Bulldogs, who are sitting at 8-0 with a matchup looming against the Tennessee Volunteers (8-0), checked in at No. 3 in the rankings.
Ahead of Georgia is Tennessee (#1) and Ohio State (#2), who also rank in that order in regard to strength of record.
Georgia’s strength of record ranks No. 5, according to ESPN’s FPI. But it does have arguably college football’s most impressive win this season: A 49-3 hammering of Oregon, which ranks No. 8 in the initial rankings.
Was Georgia ranked too low in the initial rankings? I personally do not think so. Either way, we’ll know who the true No. 1 is after this weekend’s Georgia vs. Tennessee matchup.
Twitter reacts to Georgia’s No. 3 ranking…

It’s gonna be real fun next week after Georgia wins by 2+ scores

A 2nd year Coach has his team at number one in the country, and goes on the road to a major rival and gets their butt handed to them.
I’m referring to 2017 UGA.
Has the same exact vibe.

Don’t know how anyone watching college football this year doesn’t think Georgia is the best team in the nation. Don’t be surprised when they stomp Tennessee by 3 scores on Saturday

Georgia should be second and Clemson is way overrated in these rankings. Zero way Ohio State has a better resume than Georgia. Fox committee totally forget what Bulldogs did to Oregon?

The SEC is the first conference in the 150-plus years of college football to have three different teams ranked No. 1 in the nation in the regular season

Just remember, the first ever College Football Playoff No. 1 team back in 2014 was Mississippi State.
The first ever top for was MSU, Florida State, Auburn, Ole Miss. Only FSU made the CFP.
Ohio State was 16 and won the national title.

Georgia is No. 3 in the first CFP rankings.
Only win over a ranked team for now is Oregon, which is No. 8.

No. 3 Georgia is a multiple-score favorite over No. 1 Tennessee this weekend.

The CFP Committee knows what it did by putting Georgia at 3 tonight.
Gave Kirby MORE than he needed…
Dawgs by MORE than the spread now.

Well, that settles that: GEORGIA -8.5— Dave Dameshek (@Dameshek) November 1, 2022
Georgia comes in at No. 3 in the initial CFP rankings. A win Saturday could end up vaulting the Bulldogs to No. 1 https://t.co/vtttLXw3f6

Georgia has been dying for a reason to get motivated for a game since SC. Making them #3 before the biggest game of the season is exactly what they wanted. Thanks!
