Joel Klatt is still showing plenty of love to the B1G.
This week, the FOX Sports college football analyst updated his top 10 following the first weekend in November. Klatt now has one B1G team in the top four and two in the top eight spots. It probably isn’t hard to guess the teams in the mix.
Klatt has Michigan in the No. 4 spot and Ohio State sitting at No. 8. Both teams are coming off wins last Saturday, though in very different fashions.
Michigan dominated Penn State in a 42-7 decision. The Wolverines led wire to wire and stifled one of the best offenses in college football. Ohio State struggled with a Nebraska team, winning 36-31 in Columbus.
Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame are the three teams above Michigan, according to Klatt. His top four also mimics the USA Today Coaches poll and Associated Press poll.

Klatt has Oklahoma and Georgia on the outside looking in, with West Virginia sitting in the No. 7 spot. Behind Ohio State, he has Washington State and LSU to round out the top 10.
There is a third B1G team on the list, Penn State, which Klatt has labeled in the “almost” category.
What do you think of Klatt’s rankings? Agree or disagree? We’ll see how close he is to the College Football Playoff committee’s rankings.
