Joel Klatt has surprising team ahead of Ducks in latest top-10 rankings

Joel Klatt has a surprising team in front of Oregon in his latest top-10 ranking.

In the end, what Joel Klatt thinks about the standing of the top 10 teams in the nation doesn’t mean a whole lot. Of course, Klatt is a highly-respected football analyst, and his opinion carries a lot of weight, but the College Football Playoff rankings are the only thing that matter when all is said and done.

Despite that, we like to check in with Klatt after the slate of games each week and get a feel for how he views things. After Oregon suffered a loss to the Washington Huskies last week, the Ducks slipped in the rankings. However, their big win over Utah on Saturday night returned Oregon to the top 10 of both the AP Poll and the USA TODAY Coaches Poll.

So where does Klatt view the Ducks? Shockingly, not as high as we expected. On top of that, he has an interesting Pac-12 team ahead of Oregon in the rankings going into the final week of the regular season. Check it out:
