Georgia moved up two spots in the AP Poll to No. 3, primarily as a result of No. 2 BYU falling to UCF. The Bulldogs received 1,511 points in the AP Poll, which is 129 more points than they received in last week’s poll.
The Top 5 of the AP Poll is now (1) Miami, (2) Ohio State, (3) Georgia, (4) Indiana, and (5) Notre Dame.
