Projecting College Football Playoff: Georgia solid, but no margin for error
Our Summary
The upcoming release of the first College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings of the 2025 season is generating anticipation, especially with recent shifts among top 10-ranked teams. Georgia, holding a 7-1 record, is currently projected as the No. 5 seed in the CFP rankings, despite not leading the SEC Championship race. If Georgia maintains its winning streak, it is likely to host the highest-rated Group of Five champion, currently projected to be No. 22 Memphis.
The first CFP rankings will be revealed on Tuesday night, with Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas A&M all presenting undefeated records for the committee's consideration. A new "record strength" metric has been introduced, adding another factor to the evaluations.
Key matchups are set to influence the rankings, including a Big 12 clash between undefeated No. 8 BYU and No. 9 Texas Tech. The final rankings will be informed by conference championship outcomes, with games scheduled for early December.
