College football analyst Joel Klatt has released a surprising top 10 ranking that places an unexpected team at No. 7, while BYU finds itself excluded from the top 10 entirely.
The ranking, reported by Trent Knoop for The Big Lead on November 3, 2026, highlights Klatt's unconventional evaluation of the current college football landscape. Details on which team earned the No. 7 spot were not specified in the initial report.
BYU's absence from the top 10 marks a notable snub for the program, which has been in contention for high rankings in recent weeks. Klatt's rankings often diverge from major polls, drawing attention for their unique methodology.
