In this story:


A week ago, Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt had Georgia as his No. 1 team with Michigan following at No. 2. 

But after news broke that Brock Bowers would miss multiple weeks, if not the entire season, and after Michigan, Ohio State, and Florida State all took care of their business, Flatt completely reshuffled his top teams.

The Wolverines rolled over their rival Michigan State on Saturday night in prime time to a 49-0 shutout. After yet another dominating performance, Klatt moved Michigan to No. 1.

He put Ohio State at No. 2 after it took care of Penn State in The 'Shoe and FSU at No. 3 after beating Duke. What may be the most shocking of it all, Georgia who was at one, is now at No. 4 following a bye week. 

The AP Top 25 Poll will drop this afternoon and it's hard to imagine Georgia falling from No. 1, but with the way Michigan has been playing as of late, the Wolverines definitely make an argument to be ranked first.
