It’s time to take stock of another wild week in college football, one in which Ohio State was idle. Just like almost every Saturday, we had some pretty amazing games and some pretty epic upsets to throw this whole College Football Playoff race into turmoil.
Alabama went down to Tennessee, and USC couldn’t quite finish the deal on the road at Utah. Those games took two more unbeaten teams off the board. It didn’t eliminate either in the race for the trophies and confetti, but it drastically reset everyone’s expectations and mindset about which teams are the best in the land.
One of those that had to reshuffle his rankings is Fox analyst Joel Klatt. He provides us with his opinion rankings after each week, and this time he kept it pretty simple with just four teams. Alabama and USC are both gone from his top four, and that leaves us with a new entrant.
Here is how Klatt ranked his top teams coming out of a chaotic Week 7 at the top.
