Another week saw the Ohio State football team lay down another impressive performance. We’ll know more about just how good of a win it was to blast Wisconsin, 52-21, later in the year, but it’s not like this was a game against Colorado, Hawaii or UConn (wink, wink).
One of the college football analysts we respect the most out there is Fox’s Joel Klatt. He’s not about self-promotion or causing a stir with obvious off-the-rail takes, but he tells it as he sees it. He’s engaging, analytical and knows what he’s talking about.
After every weekend of college football action, Klat releases his top 10 college football teams. As you can imagine, he has historically had the Buckeyes high on his list but doesn’t elevate them higher than he thinks, and we respect that.
But what does the former Colorado quarterback say about Ohio State’s spot among the college football landscape after the impressive showing against the Badgers?
Here’s a look at Klatt’s new opinion list he released on his Twitter account Saturday night. This week, he gives us a bonus with a top 15 and a mention of another team further down that’s having the best season it has had in a long, long time.
