College Football Rankings: Georgia Moves Up To No. 4 In SB Nation Blogpoll

The loss by USC to Stanford over the weekend has shaken things up at the top of the SB Nation Blogpoll. One of the teams benefiting from the upset of the Trojans is Georgia, who moves up to No. 4 in the rankings.

Georgia is one of three SEC teams in top-four, with Alabama at No. 1 and LSU at No. 2. In total there are six teams from the conference in the top-25.

The Bulldogs could be moving up to No. 3 in the poll if the team who currently occupies that spot, Oregon, is the latest squad to suffer a PAC-12 upset. The Ducks host No. 20 Arizona, who is off to a hot start with head coach Rich Rodriguez.

The only other team from the state receiving votes was Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have started the season with a 2-1 record.

College Football Rankings: Georgia Fifth In Simulated BCS Rankings

The Georgia Bulldogs' downfall this season might be the conference they play in. Despite being ranked fifth in SB Nation's latest simulated BCS standings, they are rated the third best team in the SEC.

That is because Alabama and LSU are ranked first and second, respectively, in this week's poll.

In fact, the top-five teams come from only two conferences, as No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 Stanford are both members of the PAC-12.

As for the other SEC teams in the rankings, South Carolina checks in at No. 7, Florida is at No. 11 and Mississippi State is at No. 24.

Luckily for the Bulldogs, only two of those five other SEC teams are on their regular season schedule. Georgia plays at South Carolina on Oct. 6 and hosts Florida on Oct. 27.

What also helped the Bulldogs move up in the rankings is that the now former No. 3 USC Trojans fell to No. 11 in the rankings after they lost 21-14 to the Stanford Cardinal.

The Crimson Tide own 54 of the 49 first place votes, and the Tigers have the other five. The SEC has four teams in the top 10 as the South Carolina Gamecocks are are ranked No. 8.

College Football Rankings: Georgia Fifth In SB Nation Blogpoll

After defeating Missouri in its SEC opener on Saturday, Georgia climbed up the SB Nation Blogpoll to fifth in the rankings. The impressive win gives the nation's best conference three of the top fives teams, as Alabama and LSU check in at one and two.

All together, there are six SEC teams in the top-25. The South Carolina Gamecocks are No. 11, the Florida Gators are No. 17 and the Tennessee Volunteers are No. 24.

Georgia Tech also got some consideration for the top-25, as it was included among the teams receiving votes.

College Football Rankings: Georgia Drops To No. 7 In Coaches Poll

The USA Today Coaches Poll felt the same way about the Georgia Bulldogs as the AP poll did as Georgia was leap frogged by the Florida St. Seminoles who were going up against a much inferior opponent from the FCS by defeating Murray State 69-3. While Georgia played and defeated the Buffalo Bulls out of the MAC by a score of 45-23.

So the reason for the jump may have been due to looking at the scoreboard. Georgia has a chance this week to make some noise in the polls as they play a quality SEC opponent in the Missouri Tigers who received 16 votes in the coaches poll.
