Georgia on outside of College Football Playoff bracket as wild week brings rankings shakeup
Georgia hadn't lost to a team other than Alabama since Nov. 7, 2020
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Fields were stormed throughout college football Saturday, and there was a shakeup in the rankings.
Three of the top four seeds from last week's rankings, including the No. 1 seed, still have automatic bids this week, but one squad dropped from the No. 2 seed to outside the bracket.
In case you still need a refresher, five automatic bids will go to conference winners, with the top four seeds going to the top-ranked conference leaders, who will get a bye.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The other seven bids go to at-large teams based on their place in the rankings. A team's playoff seeding may not be the same as its committee ranking due to the bracket system.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The final automatic bid:
12. Boise State — Mountain West leader (8-1, 5-0); ranked 13th
Georgia is ranked No. 12 in the country, but because of Boise State's automatic bid as a conference leader, the Bulldogs are the first team out, and SMU follows right behind.
The Bulldogs lost to Ole Miss last week, and the Rebels rose from No. 16 in the country to No. 11 and joined the bracket. Georgia fell from the No. 3 spot in the country.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The loss was Georgia's first against a team other than Alabama since Nov. 7, 2020.
A win for LSU almost surely would have given it a playoff seed, but the 15th-ranked team in the country was blown out by then-No. 11 Alabama, 42-13, as Jalen Milroe ran for nearly 200 yards and four touchdowns.
