Georgia football steady in polls, SEC rolls on shakeup Saturday
ATHENS — Georgia stayed among the ranks of the unbeaten on an eventful Saturday that saw eight AP Top 25 teams lose games.
The Bulldogs (4-0) stayed at No. 3 in the polls after beating Notre Dame, 23-17, in a Top 10 battle with the nation looking on via a CBS prime-time television audience.
Clemson (4-0) remained No. 1 this week after beating Charlotte 52-10 on Saturday.
