Joel Klatt post spring top 25
- Thread starter raiderdad2013
- Start date
klatt's #3 texas and #17 oklahoma to the sec will be more compelling than the p12 four to the b10, don't y'all agree?
i'm thinking texas does well over there but ou struggles in transition and maybe not for a short time. texas has loads of talent, a mature quarterback, and sark who knows that league. while ou hasn't done shat since bobby hung it up.
in the b10, ucla sucks and uw lost their coach and a lot of talent. joel ranks neither. #15 usc brings their razzle-dazzle offense but can the former bison coach fix that defensive sieve? #4 oregon may bring it. we'll have to see.
i'm curious what former ku coordinator, andy kotelnicki, brings to #9 happy valley. his j'hawk offense was like chasing jackrabbits across a pasture. penn state with an actual o maybe a sleeper, idk?

You’re comparing 2 to 4..
Just compare texass/OU against Oregon/ USC and leave it that..
What does UCLA and UDUB have to do with it?
I am a University of Nebraska alum
if you'd rather listen to former Buffs, knock yourself out
i believe Texas is going to take a pretty big step back this year with losing the middle of their defense and their best skill players. losing Jeff Choate could also prove to be huge, i can envision them being much softer this season.
Well we’ve actually seen him play football.
YOU, not so much like the majority of us on this board..
whys that? other than his miss on Frost, I find hm to be the most insightful of the msm guys
I find him to be a haughty blowhard who can't help but let his CU-bred biases bleed into everything he does.
Fair enough, I think he does a really good job at being objective. He's not even ranking Colorado on this list.
I'll always respect him because leading up to the 2001 National Championship, he was one of the only players who was pulling for Nebraska
No, I believe him when he speaks well of Nebraska, which he does often.
pulling for
Klatt is a true fan of the college football game
I don't
pure pandering
nobody laughs harder when we fail than klatt and his loser Buff cronies
he posts this ******** every single year and the cletii gobble it up without considering the source for a millisecond
Maybe in private? He's always well-read on the roster and fair during games. He got a little goofy about Colorado after they played USC last year
I give him credit for correctly pointing out that the ACC were total frauds and the Pac 12 was the strongest conference last year
Iowa fans throwing a fit on other social media about being behind Nebraska. I’d laugh that the first thing out of their mouths is comparison to Nebraska but that is how this thread started out, with a comparison to Iowa. I ask who cares what Iowa doing.
They’re a hard hitting well coached team but seem to lose an early game and lose their qb in final month of season. Can’t seem to pull it together
the utes start out b12 play at stillwater. that will be eye opener. here's klatt's picks last season for reality comparative.

Klatt is ok in my book but I have to question his sanity a little on putting us at #22. I hope he's close to right.
Agreed he could easily hate on Nebraska but he doesn’t. He’s actually pretty unbiased all things considered.
Really?? I think they do a great job year in and year out. Easy team to root for IMO.
He has 5 SEC teams and 4 Big 10 in the top 10. Have to think they will not all be ranked that high once conference play starts.
What he said about Nebraska was that last year they had a top 20 defense, won 5 games and lost 4 by 3 points. In those loses they had a bunch of TO's, mostly by QBs. If DR can improve the QB play, this could be an 8-9 win team. Maybe even better than #22.

3 seasons of 10+ wins in the past 5 years, multiple wins against top 10 teams in that span.
They're a well-coached, consistent team. They are exactly what Iowa thinks they are.
Clarkeyes think they are except you forgot Utah played in back to back New Years6 bowls (Rose Bowl) Clarkeyes not so much.
He is probably the best analyst on TV for college football. Fair and knows his stuff.
Hate to admit, but Texas is back to reloading. And with quality not quantity to help numbers like cough cough. Can’t stand t them but coach Sark is a recruiting machine and keeping them boys home.
There're good but teams usually struggle when they change conferences. They have a pretty favorable conference schedule: they host UGA and don't play Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, Missou or Tennessee in the regular season.
