The Georgia Bulldogs, the beneficiaries of the LSU Tigers' loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, climb to No. 5 in the latest BCS rankings, and are now the highest-ranked one-loss team in the nation.

The Bulldogs continue to trail the undefeated Tide, which land at No. 1, as well as the undefeated No. 2 Kansas State Wildcats, No. 3 Oregon Ducks and No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

The Bulldogs land squarely in the No. 5 spot, trailing the No. 4 Irish by nearly .1000, while ahead of the No. 6 Florida Gators by slightly less than .03. Georgia's fifth-place bow in both the Harris Interactive Poll and the USA Today Coaches' Poll, combined with their sixth-best computer ranking to give the Bulldogs their spot in the BCS.

LSU falls to No. 7 after the loss to Alabama, and is now the highest-ranked two-loss team.
