ATHENS - The pressure is on as the College Football Playoff field narrows down to just four teams. With six undefeated teams in contention, including five in the top five, the battle for the top spot intensifies.

Georgia's impressive victory over No. 21 Tennessee last Saturday has solidified their position as the Number 1 team in the nation. The Bulldogs dominated the game, securing a 38-10 win on the road. This road victory was precisely the kind of performance that Georgia had been craving to set themselves apart.

The College Football Playoff Chairman, Boo Corrigan, commented on Georgia's hold on the top ranking, acknowledging their exceptional display against Tennessee. He noted that Georgia's ability to score on six of their first eight possessions was incredibly impressive, considering the hostile environment they faced in front of over 100,000 fans.

The Bulldogs' success is not limited to the field. UGA offensive coordinator, Mike Bobo, has been named a semifinalist for the prestigious Broyles Award, recognizing him as one of the top assistant coaches in college football. Furthermore, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck is rapidly gaining attention and climbing up the NFL draft boards.

As the Bulldogs focus on their upcoming game against Georgia Tech, they remain committed to their philosophy of continual improvement. Head coach Kirby Smart has emphasized the need for the team to get better with each passing week.

The College Football Playoff Committee approaches each week with a "clean sheet" when evaluating teams. However, at this point, it appears that Georgia has the full support of Chairman Corrigan and his 13-member committee. He believes that Georgia is not just one of the best teams in the country, but the best team at this moment.

While all eyes are on the Georgia-Georgia Tech matchup, another SEC-ACC rivalry showdown has caught the attention of the CFP. The committee was questioned about why Washington surpassed Florida State in the top five rankings. Some speculate that the season-ending injury to Florida State's star quarterback, Jordan Travis, may have influenced this decision. Corrigan clarified that it had more to do with Washington's impressive road win against No. 16 Oregon State.

The CFP Committee will soon close the books on Week 12 and shift their focus to Week 13, closely monitoring the performance of teams like Georgia and Florida. The race for a spot in the College Football Playoff continues to heat up, and only time will tell if Georgia can maintain their grip on the coveted number one ranking.
