2025 College Football Playoff Rankings: Georgia Moves to 3rd, Alabama Surpasses Notre Dame

Georgia continued its dominance over Georgia Tech, extending the winning streak to eight consecutive seasons, and climbed to the third spot in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. A victory against Alabama in the SEC Championship could push the Bulldogs to #2 heading into the playoffs, while a defeat might drop them anywhere between fourth and sixth.

FanDuel has also updated the odds for playoff qualification. Notre Dame is listed at -520, despite several scenarios where the Fighting Irish could miss the playoffs, particularly if BYU claims the Big 12 title. Meanwhile, Alabama sits at -1500, suggesting that even with a potential loss, the Crimson Tide are expected to secure a playoff spot.

Speculation continues around possible upsets, with some imagining scenarios where unexpected results shake up the playoff picture, including the ACC champion Duke Blue Devils making a surprise entry.
