The College Football Playoff selection committee released its initial rankings on November 4, 2026, placing the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 2. The defending national champions trail only the top-ranked team in the first edition of the playoff standings.
Georgia's strong start to the season includes a victory over Florida on October 31 in Atlanta, where linebacker Chris Cole recovered a fumble to help secure the win. The Bulldogs' position reflects their undefeated record and dominant performances through the first half of the season.
The rankings will be updated weekly as the committee evaluates team resumes ahead of the playoff semifinals.
