An interesting note for our top 25 this week involves the Georgia Bulldogs. The Bulldogs rose three spots from number eight to number five in our poll but none of our four pollsters had them higher than sixth. Because the lowest that anybody had them rated was #7 they received more total points than FSU or Oklahoma as the schedule that they’ve played so far caused their rankings to have a higher degree of difference. Another interesting note is that the margin between #6 and #9 is just two points. The largest margins between rankings are between 4th and 5th (13 points), 16th and 17th (13 points) and 11th and 12th (10 points).
