It wasn’t the wildest week of college football, but it was the set up for the big payoff.

Georgia bested Tennessee, Washington hung onto dear life in a sloppy game at Oregon State, Penn State survived without Drew Allar, and Florida State did the same without Jordan Travis.

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt was on hand in College Park watching Michigan football for the third time this year. But how did the tough performance affect his latest top 10?

Here’s who he has as the best of the best after Week 12.
