If Dabo Swinney is still selling stock in the Clemson Tigers, count Fox Sports analyst and broadcaster Joel Klatt as an investor at the midway point of the regular season.
Klatt re-ranked his Top 10 college football teams this week following another thrilling Saturday of wall-to-wall action -- and another lopsided Clemson victory (49-14 over Wake Forest) in ACC play.
The Tigers moved up one spot to No. 6 in Klatt's new rankings. It's the second week in a row that Klatt favors Clemson over the Miami Hurricanes, who stayed at No. 8 after a bye week.

Quarterback Cade Klubnik and crew are ranked one spot behind unbeaten Penn State (6-0) at No. 5 in Klatt's re-ranking. The Tigers are one spot ahead of Alabama (5-1) following another near-disaster for the Crimson Tide, who needed a full 60 minutes to get past South Carolina last Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Clemson (5-1 overall, 4-0 ACC) is ranked No. 9 in this week's US LBM Coaches Poll. The Tigers will look to make it six straight wins when they host the Virginia Cavaliers (4-2, 2-1) Saturday in Death Valley. Kickoff is set for noon ET. The game can be seen on ACC Network.
