College football rankings: Joel Klatt’s top 10 as we enter Week 9

Temperatures might be cooling across the nation as fall is well upon us and winter isn’t far away.

For college football that means that we’re nearing the end of October and the race for the College Football Playoff is very much on.

This is a unique year as we sit entering the final weekend of October with six different Power Five programs still undefeated.

What happens is five of those remain unbeaten – who will get left out of the playoff (Michigan and Ohio State will automatically lose at least a combined one game)?

Joel Klatt of Fox Sports released his updated top 10.  Here’s how he sees things currently as we enter Week 9 of the college football season.
