ESPN college football expert Rece Davis has ranked his top 10 college football teams following an intriguing Rivalry Week. Davis, who is a "College GameDay" host, has a vote in the AP Poll.

In Davis' AP Poll ballot, he ranks Ohio State No. 1, Indiana No. 2, Georgia No. 3, Texas Tech No. 4 and Texas A&M No. 5. He notably dropped Texas A&M two slots after they lost on the road to Texas in their first defeat of the season. Davis has Georgia as his top-ranked one-loss team. Texas A&M was the only team in Davis' top 10 to lose during Rivalry Week.

The main teams that shuffled in Davis' rankings were outside the top 10. He moved up Miami to No. 12 after their impressive win over Pitt and moved Texas to No. 13. Both Miami and Texas could be on the outside looking in for the College Football Playoff.

Davis now ranks North Texas (No. 22) as his top Group of Five team, but he has several other teams vying for that spot including No. 23 Tulane, No. 24 Navy and No. 25 James Madison.
