Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt saw one of the biggest games of the weekend up close as he was on the call for Ohio State's dominating win over Indiana.

Klatt releases his own personal top 10 each week and did so late Saturday night, after one of the wilder Saturdays of the season.

Last week Klatt had Notre Dame in the top 10. How far did the Irish rise after dominating Army at Yankee Stadium?

See how Klatt rates the nation's top 10 after another absolutely wild weekend of college football.

Nick Shepkowski's Quick Take:

There is only one thing I really object to in this ranking sheet and it's not Georgia being in the top five. It's instead Penn State, who has been having to escape by the skin of its teeth with regularity this year. Minnesota had the Nittany Lions on the ropes but couldn't finish them off.

Honestly, if Georgia were to play Texas tomorrow, who would you take? I saw that game just like we all did and saw the Bulldogs dominate in Austin. My guess is that it would happen again that way.
