Joel Klatt's College Football Rankings: Did Indiana Do Enough to Dethrone Ohio State?

There is a clear separation between the three elite teams in college football this year and the rest of college football so far this season, according to Joel Klatt. 

Indiana and Texas A&M picked up convincing wins over the weekend to keep their undefeated seasons rolling. Meanwhile, Alabama played another tight game and had too close a call against a team it should've beaten with more ease. 

So, were Indiana's or Texas A&M's wins strong enough to dethrone an idle Ohio State from the No. 1 spot? Let's take a look at Klatt's most recent top 10 after Week 9. 

Klatt's take: They still have the No. 1 unit in the entire country, and that's that defense. And let's just put it to you this way: If you're looking at passing metrics from an offensive standpoint — we all know that Alabama is an elite passing offense, and Ty Simpson is great —  yet, by the numbers, you could make an argument that Ohio State is better. Now, you might not win that argument, but it's right there, razor's edge, we're talking about the elite of the elite passing games in all of college football. Just so happens that Ohio State also runs the football way better than Alabama does. Now, not great, but way better than Alabama. And oh, by the way, Ohio State's defense is like, the best defense in the sport. So they not only have that to hang their hat on, but then they can go to this offense, and they've run the football to win it, they can throw the football whenever they want — and they don't want to all the time. I know it's boring folks, I know it's boring, but that is the elite team in college football.

Klatt's take: Indiana is a complete team. I saw them live, in person, against UCLA. Complete team. Every coach I've talked to that either has played
