Georgia's road victory over Alabama has elevated the Bulldogs to the top of the AP Poll and most projected brackets, securing them as the clear frontrunner for the No. 1 seed and first-round bye. Texas tumbled after a late Red River loss to unranked Oklahoma, dropping out of the top four in several models. Notre Dame, Miami, and Ohio State hold strong positions behind Georgia, with Indiana also in the mix following its comeback win. Undefeated teams like UCLA gained ground after upsetting Oregon, while conference title races, remaining strength of schedule, and potential upsets in key matchups continue to shape the final seeding picture through November.
