Georgia scored the game’s only touchdown, in the fourth quarter, to eke out a 13-12 win at Kentucky on Saturday night but the Bulldogs still fell to No. 2 in the new poll released on Sunday
Texas (3-0) vaulted past Georgia (3-0) and into the No. 1 spot. The Longhorns drew 35 first-place votes to garner 1,540 poll points. Georgia received 23 first-place votes and had 1,518 poll points. The Longhorns are No. 1 for the first time since 2008. That wasn’t the only change in the top 10. Tennessee (3-0) and Missouri (3-0) switched places, with the Volunteers moving up to No. 6 with Mizzou now at No. 7. Similarly, Miami moved up to spots to No. 8 while Penn State fell two spots to land at No. 10.
Ranked No. 20 last week, Arizona traveled to Kansas State Friday night only to be trounced, 31-7. So fell out of the poll, allowing Illinois (3-0) to enter at No. 24. The only other matchup of ranked teams happened Saturday in Columbia, Missouri, where Missouri came from behind to beat No. 24 Boston College, 27-21.
The Eagles (2-1) had earned their ranking after beating Florida State, 28-13, on Labor Day.
