CFP Rankings, Top 10: Week 11 recap, previewing Week 12
By Mitch Kaiser
We saw another wild week in the CFP rankings as an undefeated top-10 team fell and others made their case for the top four.
Let’s recap Week 11 and look ahead to Week 12.
1. Georgia (10-0)
Week 11 result: Defeated Tennessee 41-17
It was a slower start for the Bulldogs this Saturday as they found themselves trailing early on. They was actually losing at the end of the first quarter for the first time all season. But Georgia eventually woke up and went on to destroy Tennessee.
The offense came alive after the first quarter scoring 34 unanswered points. James Cook, younger brother of Dalvin, had his best game of the year in this one. He had a season-high in both rushing and receiving yards recording 147 total yards with three touchdowns. This was good enough to earn Cook a PFF grade of 82.0.
Believe it or not, this was the most amount of points that this Georgia defense has given up to a team all season. Seventeen points — think about how crazy that is. Their defense was stifling as usual sacking Tennessee quarterbacks six times and forcing two turnovers. Linebacker Channing Tindall was responsible for three of those sacks himself which earned him a PFF grade of 81.1.
With this win, Georgia has officially finished the SEC regular season with a perfect 8-0 record.
Next game: vs. Charleston Southern
Prediction: Win 45-0
