Joel Klatt moves Ohio State up in his latest top ten college football rankings

Now that a very chaotic week of the college football season has ended, many in the media are left to pick up the pieces of what they thought the world order of college football looked like. There were unexpected close games and upsets throughout the sport, and what everyone thought they knew has been turned upside down.

We like to follow Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt when it comes to a sensible and analytical look at what things look like in college football. He shares his personal top ten college football rankings after each week and he has shuffled things a bit after a very tumultuous Week 2, including where he thinks Ohio State sits after a cruise control type of win against Arkansas State.
