Not that it matters, but Georgia is one of the four best teams in the country, according to The Associated Press.
The final Top 25 poll was released Tuesday following Michigan’s victory in the College Football Playoff Championship game Monday. Georgia (13-1) finished fourth in the poll behind Michigan (15-0), Washington (14-1) and Texas (12-2), three of the four CFP teams. Georgia finished above Alabama (12-2), the fourth playoff team.
Michigan received all 61 first-place votes following the 34-13 win over Washington to remain the country’s only undefeated team.
Florida State (13-1) and Oregon (12-2) finished tied for sixth. The Seminoles’ only loss came in a lopsided Orange Bowl against Georgia after they became the first unbeaten Power Five conference champion to be left out of the playoff and many of their top players opted out of the bowl.
