Kentucky, Oklahoma State and Arkansas moved into the top 10 after an upset-filled weekend in college football.
They took two weeks to get back to where they were a year ago. Georgia beat Alabama 33-0 in a game that was close.
It wasn't so much about what the Bulldogs did this week as much as what they did last week, combined with the fact that the Tide needed a field goal at Texas on Saturday.
