Georgia Bulldogs new No. 1 in AP Top 25; Alabama Crimson Tide fall to 5th after loss - ESPN

1 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday by a unanimous vote, taking the top spot during the regular season for the first time since November 1982.

The Bulldogs (62 first-place votes) moved up one spot in the AP Top 25, a day after preseason No.

After falling out of the rankings last week for the first time this season, the Aggies are back in at No.

It is out of the top three for the first time since 2019.

The Big Ten has five top-10 teams for the first time in the history of the AP poll, which dates to 1936.

The last time Georgia was No.

1 was the 2008 preseason poll, but the Bulldogs slipped after the first week of games -- even though they won -- and have not been back.

This is the 16th time the Bulldogs have held the top ranking and the first time they have been a unanimous No.

Auburn dropped out of the rankings after losing for the second time this season, becoming the latest team smothered by Georgia's dominant defense1

The Tigers did manage to score an offensive touchdown against the Bulldogs, just the second one this season yielded by Georgia.

Not including last season, when some FBS teams were ineligible for the poll early in the season because their conferences were not planning on playing a fall schedule, the last time the SEC had five top-10 teams was the final regular-season poll of 2019.
