ESPN’s “College GameDay” analyst Rece Davis released his top 10 rankings after Week 9 of the college season. Davis has a vote for the Associated Press and agreed with the media consensus for his top team this week. He ranked the Oregon Ducks No. 1.
The Georgia Bulldogs had a bye week, but they still have the No. 2 spot a week after an astounding 30-15 win over the formerly No. 1 Texas Longhorns. Those Longhorns are now settled in the No. 4 spot of Davis’s rankings after holding off a comeback from the Vanderbilt Commodores.
A few new teams join Rece Davis’s rankings. BYU boasts an undefeated record and several impressive wins and is leading the Big 12 in conference wins. Iowa State is not that far behind with an undefeated record, but they’ve played one less game than BYU. Their matchup against Kansas State in Week 12 is extremely important in the Big 12 title race.
Week 9 will feature several games with big College Football Playoff implications. Ohio State plays Penn State in a game that could effectively decide the other representative (besides Oregon) in the Big Ten championship.
Georgia plays Florida in Jacksonville for what could be a trap game. Oregon plays Michigan. The Ducks were able to bludgeon Illinois, but the defending champions still represent a test for Oregon.
