ATHENS - The Georgia Bulldogs have maintained their stronghold on the No. 1 spot in the Coaches Poll as the college football season heads into Week 11. Following a hard-fought victory against the Missouri Tigers, the Bulldogs continue to reign supreme in the rankings.
In a closely contested game, Georgia’s defense came through in the clutch when Nazir Stackhouse intercepted a pass from Missouri's Brady Cook in the fourth quarter. Peyton Woodring then sealed the win with a 48-yard field goal, resulting in a final score of 30-21 in favor of the Bulldogs.
"Tight games are what you do in the SEC," acknowledged Georgia coach Kirby Smart. "The margin of victory, it's hard to win. I was proud of the way they played. The locker room is great. They've been in these kind of battles."
Remaining unaltered, the top five teams in the Coaches Poll are as follows: No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 Florida State, and No. 5 Washington. All of these teams earned victories over the weekend, solidifying their positions in the rankings.
Looking ahead to Week 11, the Bulldogs face another formidable opponent as they prepare to host the No. 10 ranked Ole Miss Rebels at Sanford Stadium. With a record of 8-1, Ole Miss poses a significant challenge to Georgia's pursuit of maintaining their perfect season.
"Got a great team. I'll get to work on them tomorrow," stated Smart about the upcoming game against the Rebels. "It'll be a hell of a matchup because they've got a really good football team."
Excitement is building as College GameDay is set to cover and analyze the highly anticipated showdown between Georgia and Ole Miss. A win against Ole Miss would also see the Bulldogs clinch the SEC East, making it a significant milestone for the team.
Georgia's dominance in college football cannot be overlooked, as they are currently on a 26-game winning streak dating back to 2021. Moreover, the Bulldogs have not lost a home game since 2019, portraying their remarkable consistency and strength as a team.
As the season progresses, it remains clear that Georgia is determined to hold onto their top position and accomplish even greater feats. With each passing week, their pursuit of a national championship becomes more pronounced, making them a force to be reckoned with in the college football landscape.
