Joel Klatt's College Football Rankings: Alabama Moves Up, Miami Falls Down

While the top two teams in Joel Klatt's rankings a week ago held firm to their rankings, behind them is chaos. Out with the old, in with the new, and plenty of shifting in the middle of the list thanks to a tumultuous week of college football.

So, here are Klatt's top 10 rankings after another week of college football games.

Klatt's take: Ohio State shut out Wisconsin, Carnell Tate had over 100 yards and two touchdowns, Julian Sayin had almost 400 yards passing. They've allowed just 41 points through seven games: that's the fewest in college football since 1993, by that great Florida State defense. This Ohio State defense is one of the great defenses, not just this year, but in a long time. It's up there with the ‘21 Georgia defense, some of those Bama defenses that were incredible, some of the great defenses in the 90s. Wisconsin had no shot in that game – now, we know that, and Bama also took apart Wisconsin in a similar fashion, but Alabama gave up a couple of scores in that game. And you could say "yeah, those were mop-up duty, that’s fine" – Ohio State didn't. They went out there and shut them out. Forty-one total points, through seven college football games. That's an incredible number. 

And then on the offense side, are they running it great? No. No they're not. And they're going to try to go back and fix that, and I'm sure they're going to do that, but Wisconsin does one thing well, and it's stop the run. Bama knows that, Wisconsin was able to stop Bama’s run game, and they were able to hold in check Ohio State's run game, and I know Ohio State fans are going to complain about that, because Buckeye fans tend to focus on the areas where they need to get better, is I think the right way to put it. But that passing
