Joel Klatt updates his new top ten college football teams after Week 6. Where is Ohio State?

Every week, there are a couple of media types we like to follow to see what they think of what they just witnessed across the landscape of college football. One of those is Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt because he tends to be one that can step away from all the media hype and form his own opinion.

He’s seen a ton of college football, played it at a high level, and has a sensible thought process about him. He’s been high on Ohio State this season, and after Week 6, he released what he believes are the top 10 college football teams right now.
