Joel Klatt has three teams at No. 1 in his Week 2 college football rankings

Fox Sports college football expert Joel Klatt released his top 10 college football teams, and he put three teams on top of the list.

His top ten includes five SEC schools, three Big Ten teams, and one squad from the ACC and Big 12, It goes to show that the top competition this year is coming from the SEC and the Big Ten, and both teams that win those conferences will have a significant advantage in the playoffs.

With the 2024 season including an expanded College Football Playoff, there’s a likelihood that all of these teams could make the playoffs, even if they don’t win their division.

Honorable Mentions: Missouri Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oklahoma Sooners
