Georgia increased its hold on the No. 1 ranking following Saturday’s dominating performance against Florida.

Georgia (8-0) remained in the top spot for the 20th straight week in the Associated Press’ Top 25 poll released Sunday after the 43-20 win. The Bulldogs are one week away from tying the second-longest streak of all-time. Georgia received 48 of the 63 first-place votes for a total of 1,553 points. Michigan, which was off this week, is second with nine first-place votes and 1,494 points.

No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Florida State each received three first-place votes. No. 5 Washington rounded out the top of the poll, which remained unchanged from last week.

Last week, Georgia received 38 first-place votes. Georgia’s streak, which started on Oct. 9, 2022, is the third-longest of all time. It is one behind the streak of 21 weeks by Miami from 2001-02 and Southern California’s 33 from 2003-05.

Georgia also remained No. 1 in the Coaches Poll.

In the AP poll, Oklahoma dropped four spots to No. 10 after a loss to Kansas on Saturday. No. 6 Oregon, No. 7 Texas, No. 8 Alabama and No. 9 Penn State rounded out the top 10.

The first College Football Playoff poll will be released on Tuesday between 7-8 p.m.

Georgia will host No. 14 Missouri on Saturday in a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
