Joel Klatt updates college football power rankings, top 10 after Championship Week
It was a wild, chaotic championship week, where some of the favorites (Michigan football, Florida State, Texas) won but some others (Georgia, Oregon) did not. It upended the College Football Playoff picture quite spectacularly.
The Seminoles did not make the top four despite being undefeated, with Alabama getting the nod. Ohio State didn’t back in as it had last year due to the upheaval across the weekend.
Once everything was said and done, we got our top four in the Wolverines, Huskies, Longhorns, and Crimson Tide. But how would Joel Klatt rank the top 10 teams?
He gave his update on Sunday morning and ended up being awfully close to the College Football Playoff rankings. Regardless, here is his top 10.
