The Bulldogs rolled past their SEC rivals in Oxford and put themselves back in the hunt for the number one spot. This win comes right after No. 1 Miami lost to Notre Dame, clearing the path for Georgia to climb back to the top of the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Quarterback Gunner Stockton looked sharp even though he threw the ball fewer times than usual. He completed nine of 15 passes for 186 yards and tossed four touchdowns against the Rebels. Wide receiver Talyn Taylor caught three of those scores, including a massive 58-yard strike that sparked the rout. The running game was just as deadly, with Nate Frazier gaining 107 yards on 16 carries to wear down the Ole Miss defense. Georgia's defense held star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss to just 170 passing yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
While Georgia soared, Ohio State hit the floor hard with a home loss to Oregon. The Buckeyes now have two straight defeats, and their chances for the College Football Playoff look like they are toast. Per Yahoo Sports, the AP voters will drop Ohio State in the rankings after the Buckeyes were handled at home by Oregon. This follows a previous loss to USC, leaving Ryan Day's team with a shaky resume despite wins against Iowa and Indiana.
The collapse of Ohio State highlights how fast things can change in college football. Teams that look strong in September can crater by November if they lose key games. The Buckeyes are now in a spot where they need to win out just to stay relevant. Meanwhile, Georgia used their own loss to Auburn as a reset to become the most complete team in the country. They have turned back into a dominant force when it matters most.
With Miami's loss and Georgia's win, the top of the polls is set for a major shakeup. Following their Holy War victory over BYU, Utah holds a perfect 9-0 record, marking the first top-10 clash in the series history. The Utes are now one of the last two unbeaten teams left in the nation and are locked in for the Big 12 title game. Per Yahoo Sports, Utah could rise to No. 2 in the coaches poll while UCLA moves to No. 3 after staying perfect.
Notre Dame also secured its spot in the playoff chase by beating Miami 31-24 in South Bend. By executing a critical red zone stop with less than four minutes remaining, the Fighting Irish prevented a devastating defeat. They now look forward to Boston College, SMU, and Syracuse to end the year.
