Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt was on hand at Penn State vs. Ohio State as he called the hard-faught contest on Saturday.

After the games wrapped up Saturday night, Klatt released his updated college football top 10.

Klatt is one of the few that still refuses to put Notre Dame in his top 10. For yet another week though, he put the Fighting Irish in his "almost" category.

Joel Klatt's Top 10 College Football Rankings:

Almost: Notre Dame, Boise State

Oregon moved to 9-0 after a fairly easy victory at Michigan, beating the Wolverines 38-17. The Ducks will now host Maryland on Saturday.

Nick Shepkowski's Quick Thoughts:

Two weeks ago Joel Klatt predicted Navy to beat Notre Dame on his podcast. After Notre Dame blasted Navy, Klatt didn't even mention the game on his next podcast episode.

I don't agree that Notre Dame isn't a top 10 team nationally right now but I'm not surprised Klatt continues to leave them out of his.
