Man, Week 5 shook things up, and ESPN “College GameDay” analyst Rece Davis’s top-10 definitely reflects it. The biggest move has to be the Alabama Crimson Tide finally climbing into his top-10 after they absolutely demolished the Mississippi State Bulldogs. You know how big that is, especially with what’s coming next!
The Rankings Rework and Who’s Still Standing Tall
Davis pulled the Florida Gators right out of his top-10 after Week 5, making room for the Tide. But hey, some things never change, right? The Texas Longhorns are still holding down that No. 1 spot for Davis, just like in the AP Poll where they grabbed 61 first-place votes. Davis is convinced Texas’s win over Ohio State is the best win any team has snagged all season. As for his top six, that actually stayed the same: Notre Dame is No. 2, Ohio State No. 3, Indiana No. 4, Miami at No. 5, and then Georgia rounds out that group at No. 6. Interestingly, Davis is one of only two AP voters who has Georgia outside his top five, even though they’ve won every game by over 20 points to start the season.
SEC Dominance and a True Test Ahead
Get this: SEC teams now make up half of Davis’s entire top-10. That’s some serious power right there! Alabama, after that huge win, moved all the way up to No. 7. Why’s that such a big deal? Because the Crimson Tide are about to clash with No. 6 Georgia in Week 6. Talk about a heavyweight bout! This Georgia team, which has just been cruising with those 20-plus point wins, is finally staring down what’s expected to be a true test. And hey, not to be overlooked, BYU also got a bump, moving up a couple of slots in Davis’s rankings.
Here’s the full list Davis is rolling with going into Week 6: Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Indiana, Miami, Georgia, Alabama, BYU, Ole Miss, LSU.
That Alabama-Georgia game? Yeah, that’s what we’re all looking forward to. It’s the moment for Georgia to prove they belong even higher, and for Alabama to cement their place.
