The sixth week of the 2026 college football season delivered a slew of headline-grabbing matchups and a handful of stunning upsets that jumbled the sport's hierarchy. Both the AP and Coaches Polls experienced notable shifts throughout their top 25 lists, and many prominent analysts' personal rankings underwent similar upheaval.
During Monday morning's edition of the Joel Klatt Show, the Fox Sports college football analyst revealed his revised top 10, which included several eye-catching placements in the wake of the weekend's events.
Klatt positioned the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 1 following their impressive road victory over Alabama, which he slotted at No. 4. Filling the gap between them are the Ohio State Buckeyes at No. 2 and the Miami Hurricanes at No. 3.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish completed Klatt's top five, with the Indiana Hoosiers at No. 6, the Texas Longhorns at No. 7, the Utah Utes at No. 8, the BYU Cougars at No. 9, and the UCLA Bruins at No. 10.
As numerous high-stakes games remain on the schedule, Klatt's rankings could see further changes as the regular season progresses toward the College Football Playoff.
