Georgia football stayed at No. 4 in this season's fourth batch of rankings, which were released on Tuesday night, Nov. 25.

Then maybe an SEC championship game for the Bulldogs the next week.
That would take either Texas beating Texas A&M or Auburn defeating Alabama.
Georgia could be playing for a top four seed Friday whether it makes the SEC title game or not.
None of the top 14 teams in the CFP rankings last week lost. Georgia dispatched Charlotte 35-3.
Ole Miss, which is Georgia’s highest-ranked win, fell a spot to No. 7 in this week’s rankings with Oregon moving to No. 6.

How many teams in College Football Playoff 2025?

The Big Ten or SEC champion and runner-up could all be in the top four. If any of the five highest ranked conference champions aren't in the top 12, they will be seeded at the bottom of the bracket.

The fifth CFP rankings will be revealed during the top 25 rankings show on Tuesday, Dec. 2., at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
