LSU defeats Alabama 32-31 in OT, Joel Klatt defends No. 4 ranking of TCU | CFB | THE HERD

As he does every Wednesday, Joel Klatt stops by The Herd to talk the latest in college football with Colin Cowherd. They discuss Alabama’s OT loss to LSU 32-31 and debate whether this is the beginning of the end for Alabama. Klatt weighs in on TCU and their number 4 ranking and explains they have earned their spot in the ranking system. Colin explains why he believes Michigan is the best team in CFB, Klatt disagrees and explains Georgia is the best team in CFB for multiple reasons. The two then discuss the current state of USC football.

[@bryankarst3881]

To sum up Colin's take: !. If I don't like you, I like you 2. TCU should not even play their schedule because even undefeated they don't "look" like Alabama, who doesn't have to win because traditionally they are very good 3.Harbaugh is a great coach because he beat Ohio St....once, the whole time he has been there (and subsequently got destroyed in embarrassing fashion by Georgia. So Here is Harbaugh's career at Michigan:: vs Ohio St 1-5 ;Bowl Games 1-6 vs Michigan State: 3-4 Yeah....he also wanted to leave last year to go to the NFL but he interviewed, wasn't hired, so he went back to Michigan like that never happened. I live in Columbus and believe me, we LOVE Jim Harbaugh...we want him there for the next 25 years!

Joel Klatt needs to be on ESPN. Hear me out. Im a UGA fan. I think he brings such a balance view to college football discussions. I am so tired of the "SEC bias" arguments. I think Joel would bring legitimacy to ESPN being SEC biased.

I'd listen to these two talk about a Rutgers Maryland game, Kansas West Virginia game, and a Wake Forest Vanderbilt game lol. Great chemistry!

[@coreyadonis419]

I think if LSU had a coach like Brian Kelly doing the years Les Miles was the head coach at LSU Nick Saban wouldn't have won all them championships because LSU was one of the only few teams that had just as much talent as Alabama Les Miles was too stubborn to change his offense

[@connorjohnston6068]

So nice of Klatt to hold Collins hand and explain college football to him

[@michaelbrandon9791]

Klatt's comment about OSU playing in a dome is spot on and not just when discussing OSU. That's why when the CFP expands there MUST be at least one game played in either the Big House, Happy Valley, Shoe or Madison in December. Make all those warm weather gun slinging offensive teams play in real weather.

[@AE-wi3zb]

That’s a good point. Sec teams don’t really play in snow or even very cold weather. And it’s easier to play when you don’t do that

Colin clearly doesnt watch UGA all that much. Thank you for putting him in his place Klatt. Yes we had a ton of defensive talent go to the league but look at our numbers. still giving up just 10 ppg. this defense stats are just as good if not better than last year with younger guys. go dawgs!!

[@ajpierre]

Not a lick of SEC football. He said we lost 10 guys to the NFL as if there isn't a thing called recruiting. Ask Oregon and Tennessee if losing those 10 guys mattered.

[@strategicsage7694]

Not true actually. Last year at this point Georgia had allowed 59 points. This year, 97 points. Last year, three teams had scored 10 points or more, none more than 13. This year, 5 teams have scored 10 or more, three of them 20 or more. Georgia's defense is still very good, but it's not close to being as good as last year's.

Collin…TCU was UNDEFEATED in 2010. But Mountain West couldn’t possibly be National Champions, so they got the Rose Bowl. Where they destroyed the Big 10. TCU belongs at number 4! Once the games are played, it will decide who really belongs. What are YOU scared of?….USC getting left out? Just let it play out.

[@ChknShut]

TCU can play Tarleton and it’s a problem but Bama can play Mercer and Colgate twice a year and it’s okay

[@PeterDahu]

Exactly

[@wesleyowens4089]

And ucon was Michigan's best out of conference opponents. Tennessee can schedule UT Martin and the list goes on. It's not TCU's fault Colorado sucks because the games are scheduled so far in advance you don't know who will be good and who won't. As long as you schedule a power 5 team that is good but hopefully you don't schedule 2 to 3 cupcakes afterwards. And smu/tcu is played every year so there's but much that can be done about that but at least smu p plays in the best go5 conference and does pretty well in said conference unlike Utah State

[@kamfisher1714]

TCU sucks. They’re going to lose to Texas.

[@jonathanwrehe8015]

I know that was such a joke. Tennessee played Tennessee Martin mid season and Akron and Ball state at home. Michigan ucla self explanatory and bama ulm Austin peay and Utah state at home. Like how are they talking about one state game TCU plays every year

Bro Colin hasn't watched the Big 12 at all, it's literally the best conference outside the SEC when it comes to teh talent from top to bottom, obviously the peak isn't as good as Big 10 or the SEC, but it's definitely more deeper then the Big 10, also the Oklahoma State win is still a big win, Spencer Sanders has been injured, the depth has killed them THEYRE PLAYING PLAYERS WHO ARE FRESHMAN

Colin (along with a lot of other people) have failed to understand that you can’t put “big brands” in the playoff every year just cuz. How tf is a team that isn’t a “big brand” supposed to get into the playoff if they go undefeated? TCU is undefeated and has beaten multiple top 25 teams while those teams were also undefeated and ranked respectively. Most college football fans wouldn’t even classify TCU as a small brand either, which makes Colin’s point about them not deserving of the #4 spot very annoying and incorrect. Still don’t understand? If you took Ohio States resume and put it next to TCU’s resume, without knowing the names of each team. Any sane person would say that TCU has a far better resume. Yet, because they’re a “big brand” and in the big10, there is more bias in support of them.

[@paulcarlin5181]

Great move and LSU was smart to go for it. You had HUGE momentum getting the score on the first drive. Nothing to lose going for the win. I would not want a shootout with Bama. If you have the chance to out it out, you do.
