There will be a new No. 1 team in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 when the rankings are out Sunday.

And the Georgia Bulldogs made their case for why it should be them.

No. 2 Georgia throttled Ole Miss (No. 12 AP/No. 10 CFP) on the road, 42-7. The current No. 1 Miami, though, couldn’t complete a comeback on the road at Notre Dame (No. 4 AP/No. 11 CFP).

Here are the other teams that could move into the top spot: Utah and UCLA, who are the only two undefeated teams left.

Check back here at 2 p.m. for the latest rankings. The College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Tuesday.
