Georgia Ranked No. 5 in 2025 AP College Football Preseason Poll

The 2025 preseason AP Top 25 poll places the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 5, behind Texas, Penn State, Ohio State, and Clemson, with Georgia receiving one first-place vote. Texas is ranked No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches Polls, though the AP poll places Penn State at No. 2 and Ohio State at No. 3, while the Coaches Poll reverses those positions. Georgia, coming off an 11-3 season and an SEC Championship win, faces a challenging schedule with five games against ranked opponents, including a home game against No. 1 Texas, a neutral site game against No. 15 Florida, and road games at Tennessee and Auburn. The Bulldogs, who lost key players to the NFL and the transfer portal, including starting quarterback Carson Beck, are expected to start redshirt junior Gunner Stockton at quarterback. Georgia has been ranked in the AP preseason top five for eight consecutive seasons and aims to build on last year's No. 6 final ranking after a playoff quarterfinal loss. The season opens for Georgia on August 30 against Marshall.
