ESPN “College GameDay” analyst Rece Davis released his top 10 after Week 13 of the college football season. Davis is an Associated Press voter and had to make numerous changes to his rankings after several top teams were upset this week.
The Georgia Bulldogs took care of business, winning against UMass, 59-21. Despite the Bulldogs’ defense failing to tackle consistently, the offense dominated the game. Carson Beck and Nate Frazier looked like world beaters.
After upsets and chaos around the SEC, Georgia clinched an SEC championship berth.
Due to upset losses, Alabama and Ole Miss dropped out of Rece Davis’ top 10. The Crimson Tide lost to Oklahoma (6-5), and the Rebels lost to Florida (6-5). With Alabama and Ole Miss both having three losses, they need help to get back in the College Football Playoff mix. The SMU Mustangs and Miami Hurricanes, two ACC teams, are in Davis’ top 10.
The Big Ten featured a contest between Indiana and Ohio State, two teams in Rece Davis’ rankings. Fans were intrigued with this top-five matchup, but the Buckeyes made it one-sided, winning 38-15. However, Indiana remains in Rece Davis’ top 10.
This week is rivalry week, so there could be more chaos, especially with No. 3 Texas facing Texas A&M, a team ranked just outside the top 10.
Rece Davis’ top 10 college football rankings after Week 13:
- Oregon Ducks
- Ohio State Buckeyes
- Texas Longhorns
- Georgia Bulldogs
- Penn State Nittany Lions
- Tennessee Volunteers
- Notre Dame Fighting Irish
- Miami Hurricanes
- SMU Mustangs
- Indiana Hoosiers
