Georgia slips to No. 8 in AP poll following LSU loss

Following their first loss of the season, the Georgia Bulldogs slipped to No. 8 in the Associated Press poll released Sunday afternoon.

LSU jumped all the way to No. 5 in the AP Poll with their 36-16 win.

Georgia wasn't the only top 10 team defeated yesterday, which has caused a major shakeup in both polls this week.

Iowa State upset No. 6 West Virginia, No. 8 Penn State lost in final minutes to Michigan State and No. 17 Oregon defeated No. 7 Washington in overtime.

The Bulldogs also fell four spots in the USA Today Coaches Poll to No. 6 after the loss.
