In a stunning turn of events, the Georgia Bulldogs have made a remarkable leap in the final Coaches Poll top 25 rankings of the 2023 season. Following their resounding victory in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, the Bulldogs have climbed three spots to secure the coveted No. 3 position, surpassing powerhouse teams such as Texas and Alabama.

Despite a stellar regular season record with three consecutive undefeated campaigns, Georgia's hopes of a playoff berth were dashed when they suffered a defeat at the hands of Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Nevertheless, their dominant performance in the Orange Bowl solidified their place among college football's elite.

The Bulldogs' victorious Orange Bowl outing saw them trounce Florida State with a remarkable scoreline of 63-3. This emphatic triumph served as the perfect conclusion to their highly successful 2023 campaign. Notably, the defeat caused Florida State to drop three spots in the rankings, settling at No. 6.

In the final poll, Michigan unsurprisingly claimed the top spot as the unanimous No. 1 team. Their remarkable feat of winning the national championship after 26 long years propelled them to the pinnacle of college football. Washington, the runner-up in the College Football Playoff National Championship, secured the No. 2 position, narrowly edging out Georgia.

Texas, who made it to the playoffs but ultimately fell to Washington in the Sugar Bowl, rounded out the top four at No. 4. In a testament to their noteworthy seasons, Florida State and Ohio State managed to retain their places in the final top 10 rankings despite losses in their respective bowl games. Florida State remained within the top 10 at No. 6, while Ohio State landed at No. 10.

As the curtain falls on the memorable 2023 college football season, Georgia's remarkable rise to the No. 3 spot serves as a testament to their incredible talent and perseverance. While the Bulldogs may have missed out on the playoffs, their resounding victory in the Orange Bowl has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on fans and pundits alike. With their strong performance this season, Georgia has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in college football.
