Georgia Moves to No. 1 in AP Poll After Alabama Struggles vs. Texas

After a wild weekend in college football, there’s a new No. 1 in the Associated Press’s Top 25 poll: Georgia.

The Bulldogs were one of the few top programs in the country to escape Week 2 unscathed. For the second weekend in a row, quarterback Stetson Bennett played mistake-free and Georgia cruised to a shutout of Stamford.

However, the result for the new No. 1 in the AP poll was not the norm during a particularly wacky Saturday around the sport. In one of the more thrilling matchups of the weekend, former No. 1 Alabama narrowly held off an upset bid from Texas to win 20–19.
