Joel Klatt Updates Top 10: Notre Dame Makes Big Move Up the Rankings

The final week of the college football regular season has come and gone as plenty of drama was had.

Notre Dame (11-1) got by rival USC (6-6) in dramatic fashion and avoided the upset-minded Trojans, who put up quite the fight.

It wasn't the same for Ohio State though as the nearly three touchdown favorites lost at home to rival Michigan, and fell right out of the Big Ten championship game as a result.

Joel Klatt of Fox Sports was on the call for that Michigan upset and released his updated top 10 college football rankings following the conclusion of Saturday night's games.

As a result of the latest week of chaos, Notre Dame sky-rocketed up Klatt's list.

See Klatt's entire top 10 below.
