The College Football Playoff rankings, which will debut Nov. 24 this season, long ago rendered the legacy polls pointless. But the AP and Coaches Polls sure would like to drive that point home.
Despite losing 41-24 at Alabama Saturday night, the coaches, or in a lot of cases, the staffers they have filling their rankings out, felt Georgia should only fall one spot from No. 3 to No. 4 in both the AP and Coaches rankings this week. Ohio State, yet to play a game, moved up from sixth to fifth in the AP Poll, but held firm in the five spot in the Coaches Poll.
