Joel Klatt updates college football power rankings, top 10 after Week 13
Joel Klatt may have annoyed some Michigan football fans watching The Game on TV with his contrarian calls on some big plays against Ohio State, but Klatt is always fair and balanced. And he’s long been in favor of what the Wolverines are doing on the football field.
Last week, Klatt had Georgia as his No. 1 team, surpassing the maize and blue after a struggle session at Maryland, but what did he think after he witnessed the Wolverines take down the Buckeyes? Especially since Georgia struggled with Florida State, Washington struggled with Washington State, and other oddly tight matchups, there was some room for movement in his latest top 10 rankings.
Here’s what Klatt put out there on Sunday morning.
