Joel Klatt's College Football Rankings: Georgia Moves Up, Bama Moves (Way) Down

With the College Football Playoff looming, Joel Klatt's top 10 rankings are becoming a top 15. Here's where things stand after week 12.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • FOX SPORTS
Joel Klatt's College Football Rankings: Georgia Moves Up, Bama Moves (Way) Down
Eli Holstein - Throws garbage time TD Holstein was 3-for-6 passing for 23 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-15 defeat against Notre Dame.
Impact With the game well out of reach, Holstein entered for Pittsburgh's final offensive possession. He led a 12-play, 79-yard touchdown drive. Mason Heintschel will likely remain under center for Pitt's final two games.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Mason Heintschel - Quieted by Notre Dame Heintschel completed 16 of 33 passes for 126 yards and one interception during Saturday's 37-15 loss versus Notre Dame. He also had nine rushes for seven yards.
Impact Heintschel had his worst game since being named Pitt's starting quarterback, completing fewer than 50 percent of his passes, setting a low in passing yards and failing to log a touchdown. The true freshman had eclipsed 300 passing yards in four of his previous five games. He'll look to bounce back against Georgia Tech in Week 13.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ja'Kyrian Turner - Quiet on limited touches Turner recorded five rushes for 15 yards during Saturday's 37-15 defeat versus Notre Dame.
Impact Desmond Reid (lower body) started the contest and played until the third quarter, when he suffered an injury. Reid's availability, paired with Pitt's multi-score deficit, left few opportunities for Turner. Turner had received double-digit carries in five straight games before Saturday's dud. If Reid is forced to miss time, Turner would become the Panthers' top tailback.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny Johnson - Another four catch game Johnson recorded four receptions (on six targets) for 27 yards during Saturday's 37-15 defeat versus Notre Dame.
Impact Johnson has now caught exactly four passes in three of his last four games - the fourth being a seven-catch, 112-yard outburst - though his 27 receiving yards were his fewest during that stretch and second fewest of the season. Overall, he's caught 41 passes for 603 yards and four touchdowns across 10 games.
NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Raphael Williams Jr. - Limited output against ND Williams recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 14 yards during Saturday's 37-15 loss to Notre Dame.
Impact Williams set a season low in receiving yards and tied his fewest targets in a game since Week 6. The senior wideout's performance snapped a two-game touchdown streak. He's up to 39 receptions for 549 yards and six touchdowns over 10 games.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • NJ.COM
Desmond Reid - Leaves Saturday with injury Reid (lower body) limped off the field in the third quarter of Saturday's game versus Notre Dame, Justin Guerriero of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Impact Reid's injury-riddled season continued Saturday as he left the game in the third quarter with a heavy limp. He has not been able to return since he left. Given the fact that the Panthers are already likely out of the game, Reid will likely not risk returning to the field Saturday.
NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Butkowski - Not dressed Saturday Butkowski (illness) is not dressed for Saturday's game against Notre Dame, Abby Schnable of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Considering that Butkowski was doubtful for Week 12, him out against Notre Dame should not be surprising. It looks like Sam Carpenter will handle Pitt's scoring-based kicks without the injured Butkowski.
NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Butkowski - Not announced as starter Butkowski (illness) is not starting Saturday's game against Notre Dame, Amanda Godsey of the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat reports.
Impact Sam Carpenter will be Pittsburgh's starting placekicker. As for Butkowski, while there is still a possibility Pitt's team uses him against Notre Dame, him being used for placekicking Saturday looks unlikely.
NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Butkowski - Going through preliminary warmups Butkowski (illness) is going through preliminary warmups but remains unlikely to play in Saturday's game against Notre Dame, Stephen Thompson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports...
Impact Butkowski going through preliminary warmups suggests his current illness may not be all too bad moving forward. Still, Week 12 is likely to include his absence, pushing the earliest he can play to Week 13 at Georgia Tech.

Impact It appears that Butkowski has gotten ill just a day before Pittsburgh and Notre Dame log their upcoming game. He enters Week 12 doubtful, and his absence likely opens up an opportunity for Sam Carpenter to attempt field goals and extra points Saturday.
