Georgia tops Michigan, Ohio State in college football AP Top 25

Georgia will begin 2023 college football season as preseason No. 1 ranked team, receiving 60 of 63 possible first-place votes ahead of Michigan and Ohio State.

ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to do what no team has done in the AP poll era, dating all the way back to 1936: win three straight national championships. 

They will begin the 2023 college football season as the preseason No. 1 ranked team in the country, receiving 60 of 63 possible first-place votes ahead of Michigan (two first place votes) and Ohio State (one vote).

Georgia has gone 29-2 in the past two seasons, although this is the second time in program history they begin the season ranked No. 1, with the last time coming back in 2008. They were No. 5 before the 2021 season, before they went on to win their first title since 1980, and they were No. 3 before going undefeated in 2022.

Georgia is joined by a pair of SEC teams to round out the Top 5. Alabama comes in at No. 4, their lowest preseason ranking in over a decade, while LSU comes in at five, their best preseason ranking since 2016.
