Georgia was at number one to start the year. The Bulldogs beat Clemson 34-3 in their opening game, and stayed at number one after week two when they spanked Tennessee Tech 48-3. However, Georgia moved out of the number one spot after week three when they narrowly beat Kentucky 13-12 on September 14.
