"College GameDay" panelist and ESPN college football expert Rece Davis ranked his top 10 teams ahead of Rivalry Week.
In Davis' AP Poll ballot, he ranks Ohio State No. 1, Indiana No. 2, Texas A&M No. 3, Georgia No. 4 and Texas Tech No. 5. Interestingly, his entire top 10 remains unchanged after a relatively uneventful Week 13. That figures to change during Rivalry Week with many ranked versus ranked matchups.

The GameDay host ranks Tulane (No. 22) as his top Group of Five team, so they would be projected to make the playoff over North Texas (No. 23), Navy (No. 24) and James Madison (No. 25), who are all in contention to land a playoff berth as the top Group of Five team.
