Joel Klatt Releases Final College Football Top 10 Rankings

Notre Dame was off for college football's conference championship weekend but that doesn't mean it wasn't impacted by results.

Was the sum of what happened on Friday and Saturday good for Notre Dame or bad?

Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt weighed in late Saturday night with his latest college football top 10 rankings. Compared to where the Irish sat last week, it's safe to say Klatt sees the weekend being a win for the Irish.

Below is Joel Klatt's final college football top 10 rankings of the regular season.
