Joel Klatt ranks his top 10 teams after Week 4

Fox Sports college football expert Joel Klatt released his top 10 college football rankings after Week 4.

His top 10 includes five SEC schools, three Big Ten teams, one ACC team, and one squad from the Big 12 to round it out. Once again, the SEC and Big Ten look like the best Power Four conferences in the country.

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

Klatt is low on both the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide ahead of Georgia’s Week 5 road trip to Tuscaloosa.

Honorable Mentions: Clemson Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, Missouri Tigers, USC Trojans, Oklahoma Sooners

Here are Joel Klatt’s top 10 teams:

No. 10: Utah Utes
