For Joel Klatt, there isn’t just one No. 1 college football team right now. There are 3.
The FOX Sports analyst unveiled his weekly ranking of the top 10 college football teams on Thursday, but with a twist: Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson are tied at the top, instead of 1 through 3.
“These 3 teams, I think, are clearly the class of the country,” Klatt said.
He touched on Alabama’s shutout of Mississippi State on Saturday, the first time a team coached by Mike Leach had ever gone scoreless in a game, as well as Ohio State’s win over Penn State “in what will be their most difficult game in the Big Ten. For Clemson, he discussed the play of quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei in his relief appearance for Trevor Lawrence against Boston College as well as Travis Etienne setting a new career rushing mark for ACC running backs.
Three other SEC teams made Klatt’s top 10: Texas A&M at No. 5, Georgia at No. 6 and Florida at No. 9.
