Georgia continues to win and, as a result, rise in the various national polls around college football. The Bulldogs are the No. 4-ranked team in the latest US LBM coaches’ Poll released on Sunday morning.

The Bulldogs earned a 35-10 win over Texas on Saturday night in Athens. There was a bit of chaos at the top of the rankings this weekend.

Georgia got five touchdowns from junior quarterback Gunner Stockton as the Bulldogs ran away in the fourth quarter against the Longhorns. The game was 14-10 heading to the fourth quarter.

Georgia was able to pull away late. The Bulldogs leaned on a NAVY mantra, ‘take it to the water’ in preparation for Saturday.

“It just fit this game,” head coach Kirby Smart told reporters after the game. “We talked about what’s not for some people is for others. And the hardest part of SEAL training is when they go after the hype phase. Everybody’s hyped up, and everybody’s hyped up to kick off. But when they go to that water phase, and they go down and do the water torture, surf torture, not everybody wants it. It’s not for everybody. And people start ringing the bell, and we wanted our guys to take it to the water, and see who wanted to ring the bell, and be the most physical team. They enjoy that, they enjoy that personality. 

Alabama fell to Oklahoma in Tuscaloosa. The No. 1 team, Ohio State, continues to roll. The Buckeyes earned a 48-10 win over UCLA on Saturday.

The No. 2 team, Indiana, trounced Wisconsin. The No. 3 team, Texas A&M, needed a furious comeback to earn a 31-30 win over South Carolina.

Georgia will host UNC-Charlotte next week at 12:45 p.m. The latest College Football Playoff rankings will come out on Tuesday.
