Georgia captured the nation with a thrilling 44-41 win over Tennessee on Saturday. The Associated Press Poll gave Georgia a bump on Sunday. The Bulldogs are now the number five team in the latest AP Poll released on Sunday. Georgia was number six going into this week’s games.

Ohio State kept the number one spot for the second straight week. Penn State, LSU, and Miami, in that order, also rank ahead of the Bulldogs.

Georgia will have a bye week following Saturday’s game. Alabama will make the trip to Athens on Sept. 27 to face Georgia in Sanford Stadium.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart had praise for his team’s resiliency after fighting back from multiple deficits during Saturday’s game.

“I’m really proud of our guys,” Smart told reporters after the game. “We talked about coming in here and conquering this place, which is not easy to do. And when you do something like that, you have to make your own way. You have to absorb blows. I don’t think I had any idea how many blows we would have to absorb, but we did, and we got a resilient group. I think that’s a really good football team we just played… Just all in all, a great game, but I feel almost like we have to apologize to them. I don’t think we should have won that game I don’t think. They outplayed us in a lot of ways, but that’s the way it goes. I mean, I’ve had one against them about nine or ten years ago that certainly went that way. But it comes to go.”
