Joel Klatt has dropped Ohio State one spot to No. 3 on his college football top ten after Clemson rolled up 73 points on a very bad Georgia Tech team, all while also seeing Alabama win convincingly against No. 3 Georgia.
Klatt has been consistent in keeping the Buckeyes near the top of his personal rankings. However, he must have seen something to move the needle since Ohio State has been pretty locked in at his No. 2 spot.
Let’s be fair… even if Georgia Tech is a really bad football team — and they are — putting up 73 points is impressive. And even if Georgia was starting a below-average former walk-on at quarterback, UGA is loaded with NFL talent. Bama made the adjustments necessary to overcome a halftime deficit and keep the Bulldogs out of the endzone for the final 30 minutes.
All that is about to change come Saturday when Ohio State will make its 2020 debut. Will the Buckeyes be everything as advertised? We’ll find out when Nebraska comes to town, but you can get a head start by reading our preview
The rest of his top ten consists of Notre Dame (4), Georgia (5), Penn State (6), Texas A&M (7), Oklahoma State (8), Florida (9), and BYU (10).

Things will surely get a shakeup as Big Ten play begins this Friday and the Pac-12 starting two weeks later. It’s almost like things are close to back to normal.
Game week on!
