Joel Klatt updates his top 10 in college football after Week 12. Does he have Ohio State or Michigan higher?

Fox College Football analyst Joel Klatt is at it again. Each week he updates his opinion on who the top teams in college football are after taking in all the action and shares his view with the people.

Klatt has historically been very kind to the Buckeyes, especially since he started calling a bunch of their games when Fox started its “Big Noon Kickoff” show and featured games. But, hey, with the record of success Ohio State has had, who can blame him?

This season, Klatt has had Ohio State anywhere from No. 1 to No. 3, and we’re now just one game from one of the most anticipated installments of The Game between the Buckeyes and Wolverines we’ve ever experienced.

So how does the Fox College Football analyst see Georgia, TCU, LSU and Alabama line up after Week 12? And where is Ohio State compard to Michigan? Here’s a look at Klatt’s latest college football rankings as we head into Rivarly Week across most of the country.
