Georgia Bulldogs Hold Top Spot in Preseason AP Poll as College Football Season Approaches

In Atlanta, the season is gearing up with exciting news as the University of Georgia Bulldogs take the top spot in the preseason AP Poll for the second year in a row. Joining Georgia in the top five are some powerhouse teams, including No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Oregon, No. 4 Texas, and No. 5 Alabama. The rest of the top ten sees No. 6 Ole Miss, No. 7 Notre Dame, No. 8 Penn State, No. 9 Michigan, and No. 10 Florida State rounding out the list.

This season, Georgia looks strong with their star quarterback Carson Beck returning for his final season, giving fans plenty to be excited about. Meanwhile, last year’s national champion, Michigan, has dropped to the No. 9 spot after losing 13 players to the NFL draft, which is a considerable shift. The top four teams from the College Football Playoff (CFP) are also featured in the top ten, with Texas and Alabama each returning their own Heisman candidate quarterbacks.

Among the top-ranked teams, the SEC and Big Ten conferences are leading the charge, each securing four spots in the top ten count. Notably, Florida State stands as the top-ranked team from the ACC, bringing in DJ Uiagalelei, formerly of Oregon State, to take over for the departed Jordan Travis.

As the season begins, all eyes will be on key matchups such as the showdown between No. 1 Georgia and No. 14 Clemson, set for a noon start, which could carry significant implications for the CFP later in the season. Other notable games include No. 10 Florida State taking on Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland, which is a thrilling first for College GameDay, and No. 8 Penn State visiting West Virginia.

With a total of 12 teams in the AP Top 25 projected to start new quarterbacks, anticipation is building for how these changes will shape the upcoming season. The teams and their fans are eager to see how the landscape of college football unfolds over the next few months.
