Georgia picked up 29 of 56 first-place votes and remained No. 1 for the 18th week in a row in the latest Super 16 poll.
Georgia has been number one in every week of the poll, dating back to October 9, 2022. The 'Dawgs were idle this past weekend, in advance of facing Florida in Jacksonville this coming Saturday.
An SEC team has been ranked No. 1 in the poll each week, dating back to September 29, 2019, a span of 50 weeks.
The poll is administered by the FWAA (Football Writers Association) and the National Football Foundation, and features a geographical mix 56 FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers. CollegeFootballPoll.com's Dave Congrove has been a member of the panel since since week 4 of the 2017 season.
Georgia has the same number of first-place mentions as it had a week ago (29), followed by Michigan with 19 (+4), Ohio State with 6 (+6), Florida State with 1 (-1), and Washington with 1 (+1). Oklahoma lost the only first-place vote it received a week ago.
Ohio State moved up one spot to No. 3 after a 20-12 win at home against Big Ten rival Penn State. The Nittany Lions fell three spots to No. 10 by virtue of the loss to the Buckeyes. Alabama moved up two spots to No. 9 after a 34-20 comeback win at home against Tennessee.
Oklahoma's No. 6 ranking marks the 97th all-time appearance in the Super 16 poll for Sooners, which is now fourth-best among all teams in the nation.
Last week's No. 10 and No. 15 teams, North Carolina and Duke, dropped out of the poll completely after suffering losses in Week 8. The Tar Heels fell 31-27 at home to Virginia, while Duke lost 38-20 at Florida State.
LSU returned to the poll and Missouri joined the poll for the first time this season, claiming Nos. 15 and 16 respectively. Missouri's appearance in the poll marks the Tigers' fourth all-time and the first since December 7, 2014.
The SEC led all conferences with five teams, followed by the Pac-12 with four, Big Ten with three, Big 12 with two and the ACC and FBS Independents with one each.
