We love ourselves some Joel Klatt on this website. He at least tries to be unbiased, unlike some other personalities that are straight homers out there. Yeah, he calls mainly Big Ten games for Fox, but he is analytical, smart and can string more than a few coherent thoughts together.
After each week’s action, Klatt gives us his opinion on how he would rank teams. It’s a week-by-week thing but takes into account the body of work. He has historically been pretty kind to Ohio State, but he’s also been critical when the Buckeyes don’t perform up to standards.
This week he really likes OSU and has elevated the Buckeyes after they handled business easily against Rutgers. Sometimes Klatt goes deeper with his rankings but this time he only went to his top five, though he does say the rest of his top 10 is coming later.
Here’s how Klatt has his top five shaking out after Week 5: Ohio State makes a big move up.
