Georgia took over the top spot in the Week 7 college football rankings after a 20-17 win over Alabama on the road, a game that was decided late in the fourth quarter.
Gunner Stockton threw for 249 yards and a touchdown to go with his rushing score, and Georgia’s defense clamped down in the second half, allowing just three points after halftime.
