Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt has put Georgia first in his latest college football top 10, released after roughly a month of the season. The ranking reflects his assessment of recent results and is not an official poll.

Texas dropped to second after beating Tennessee 20–17. Klatt described the Longhorns’ performance as sloppy.

Oregon and Florida entered the top 10 after wins over USC and Ole Miss. Ole Miss and LSU fell out.

Klatt placed Florida at No. 8, pointing to its 300 rushing yards on 53 carries in the win over Ole Miss. He said the team had a pathway to the College Football Playoff, while stopping short of calling it the best team in the SEC.
