The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide are set for a massive ranked matchup following the latest AP College Football rankings.

The first month of the 2025 college football season has been completed as teams all across the country turn their attention to week five of this year's schedule. Following an exciting week of action, there has been some movement in the latest AP College Football Rankings.

The Georgia Bulldogs were idle this week as they completed their first bye of the 2025 season, but will be back in action this Saturday as they host the Alabama Crimson Tide in what could be one of the largest regular-season games of the year.

Alabama has emerged victorious in nine of the previous ten meetings and is on a two-game winning streak over the Bulldogs, which includes last year's 41-34 thriller in Tuscaloosa. Georgia will look to change their fortunes against the Tide this Saturday as it looks for its first regular-season victory over Alabama since 2007.

The Tide is looking to continue its dominance over the Dawgs and earn its first road win of the 2025 season. A victory would also put Alabama in an excellent position to earn a spot to the SEC Championship game.

Kickoff for this showdown between two titans is currently scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and will be aired nationally on ABC.
