Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt has Clemson above Georgia in Week 5 rankings
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt revealed his Week 5 college football rankings on Sunday, and he has Clemson in a higher position than most.
Coming off a 30-20 victory over NC State last week and a double-overtime win over Week Forest the week prior, the Tigers are widely considered a Top-10 team in the country.
For Klatt, Clemson’s recent performance has given him enough reasoning to rank the Tigers above Georgia and most other teams in consideration for a Top-10 spot.
In his explanation, Klatt acknowledged that the Tigers’ offense has clearly progressed since 2021, and “it’s almost in pen that Clemson is in the College Football Playoff.”
It’s a long season, but many have echoed Klatt’s prediction because of the remaining games on Clemson’s schedule.
That said, here are Klatt’s Top-10 teams.
