The Georgia Bulldogs saw their massive regular season winning streak snapped with a 41-34 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. The Bulldogs looked completely outmatched throughout the first half but led late in the fourth quarter before eventually losing.

Fans have speculated about what the Georgia Bulldogs will do in the remainder of the season after a heartbreaking loss. Let's take a look at where they rank right now and if they can make a College Football Playoff run this season.


Where does the Georgia Bulldogs rank in the AP Poll?

The Week 6 AP Poll saw the Georgia Bulldogs fall, as they are the fifth-ranked team in the nation, dropping three spots.

They are the highest-ranked team with a loss and are fourth among Southeastern Conference teams. They got 1,329 points from voters but didn't receive a first-place vote this week.


What are the odds for the Georgia Bulldogs to win the national championship?

The Week 4 loss to Alabama dropped the odds for the Georgia Bulldogs, as they have the fourth-best odds to win the national championship, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Bulldogs are at +650 to win the national championship, with the following three teams having better odds:

  • Ohio State Buckeyes (+320)
  • Alabama Crimson Tide (+350)
  • Texas Longhorns (+500)

It has been a while since the Georgia Bulldogs have been the third-best odds in the SEC to win the national championship, so they need to bounce back and win games to get better odds.


Will the Georgia Bulldogs make the College Football Playoff?

The Georgia Bulldogs may not make the SEC Championship Game this season, but they should make the College Football Playoff.

If they get there, they should be one of the favorites to win the entire thing. They have one of the top quarterbacks in Carson Beck, despite his struggles in Week 5, and an elite defensive team.

The Bulldogs also have arguably the best coach in college football in Kirby Smart and to dominate against teams in other conferences. If they don't win the SEC championship, the highest seed they could be is fifth in the CFP.

Expect the Georgia Bulldogs to dominate the remainder of the regular season and make the College Football Playoff with a deep run as they compete for the national championship.
