OXFORD, Miss. — A new No. 1 will top the College Football Playoff rankings, and it will likely be a team with a “G” adorning its bright red helmet.

Georgia (8-1) scored a dominant 42-7 win over No. 10 Ole Miss (6-3) on Saturday night and should be elevated from its No. 2 perch when the rankings come out at 9 p.m. on Tuesday night after No. 1 Miami (8-1) fell at No. 11 Notre Dame (8-1) by a 31-24 count.

It was the Irish’s 10th-straight home win and puts them in strong standing to make the 12-team CFP field, as Notre Dame does not have a ranked opponent among the remaining three teams on its schedule.
