There’s some debate as to which team has been the best in college football five weeks into the season. FOX college football analyst Joel Klatt believes Ohio State currently holds that title.
Ohio State’s combination of explosive offense and elite defense has resulted in blowout wins in all five games. The Buckeyes are currently 5-0 with a 2-0 mark against B1G foes. This week, they’ll host No. 25 Michigan State in the biggest game to date.
So, what is it that sets Ohio State apart? Why are they better than the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma and Wisconsin right now? Klatt has some thoughts.
Thursday, FOX Sports posted a video of Klatt breaking down what makes the Buckeyes so great, and why he believes they’re the unquestioned best team in America. Below is the video, posted by FOX Sports:

Klatt also has Wisconsin listed in the top 10. Penn State didn’t quite make the cut.
Will the Buckeyes live up to that No. 1 ranking this weekend? It will certainly be the most difficult challenge Ohio State and Ryan Day have seen to date.
