Joel Klatt has released his latest top 7 rankings following a wild ride during Rivalry Week on Saturday.

The Fox Sports analyst seems to be in agreement with most other pundits as he placed Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and USC in his top four spots, respectively. Klatt named Ohio State and Alabama bubble teams at No. 5 and No. 6, while Penn State pulled into the last spot at No. 7 on Klatt’s list.

During Rivalry Week, Michigan sent Ohio State packing, as the Wolverines dominated the second half to walk away with a 45-23 win over the Buckeyes. It’s the first time since 2000 that Ohio State has lost to Michigan at home, and the second consecutive year the Wolverines wrecked the B1G title hopes of the Buckeyes.

Penn State was previously No. 8 on Klatt’s list but moved up a spot after easily taking care of Michigan State 35-16 on Saturday. Likewise, the Crimson Tide also hitched a ride up to the No. 6 spot after handily beating Auburn 49-27.
