2024 college football rankings: Joel Klatt's top 10 teams after Week 12

What a Saturday it was in college football.

Travis Hunter further solidified himself as the Heisman favorite in Colorado's win over Utah. The Buffs are also proving to be more legitimate each week as they're in the driver's seat for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game.

Of course, the biggest result from Saturday's slate was Georgia's 31-17 win over Tennessee. The Bulldogs did exactly what they needed to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive as they remained in the hunt to play in the SEC Championship Game. 

Was Georgia's win enough to put it back up among the elite teams in college football? Here's my latest top 10. 

1. Oregon (Last week: 1)
Record: 11-0
Week 12 result: Defeated Wisconsin, 16-13

I kept Oregon at No. 1 even though the Ducks looked sluggish against Wisconsin. I initially didn't feel great about putting Oregon at No. 1 due to how it played in Madison.

However, I remembered that Oregon played a conference game for eight straight weeks without a bye. After an underwhelming stretch of football in non-conference play to open up the season, Oregon was as dominant as anyone in college football for the next seven games. The Ducks didn't have that game again where we scratched our heads and wondered, "Wait, what was that?" until Saturday. 

But every other team in the country had that, "Wait, what was that?" performance in conference play at some point this season before Oregon's tight win at Wisconsin. The fact that Oregon didn't have a game like that until Saturday is pretty remarkable. So, I don't think it's cause for concern. In fact, it shows that Oregon can have that type of game and still pull out a win, unlike some other teams who had the "Wait, what was that?" performance earlier this season.
