Penn State’s James Franklin & Top 10 Rankings | Breaking the Huddle with Joel Klatt | CFB ON FOX

[@CFBonFOX]

Do you agree with Joel's Top 10 Rankings?

[@daniel-df3wq]

I saw Penn State last year, they are overrated.

[@GatorNation141]

Then to top it off u have Oklahoma in 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@josephcernansky1794]

@@daniel-df3wq so you stuck in a time warp???? did anyone tell you the calendar changed to 2021 already? ONLY a OSUe homer would say something as ridiculous, like because a team is some sort of "perennial" power they must be good today. Either that or this must be the first year you ever watched CFB. If so, you can do some research on when teams like Alabama and OSUe SUCKED!! Or why isn't FSU and Miami in the top 5 now because they were so good before? It's 3 weeks into the season, and Penn State has the most difficult schedule in CFB. 6 ranked opponents, ALL top ranked teams in B1G, 2 of the West division, 3 of the East, + Auburn, 3 of those ranked games on the road. 2 wins, 4 more to go. So are they overrated? Maybe, maybe not. Is it probable to survive such a schedule? Slim, but then again doubtful any team would go undefeated in that schedule, including Alabama!! OSUe certainly didn't!!! And Oregano and Clemson and Oklahomo have a total cake walk into the playoff. ONLY the SEC and B1G conference poses such a challenge for any team to go undefeated. Penn State would have to do just that to get a berth, even over a 1 loss OSUe(see 2016). Or another 1 or 2 loss SEC team because of the BLIND BIAS from people who only think like daniel98

What has Oklahoma done to justify a top 5 ranking… 2 shaky wins against subpar teams…

[@PoliticallyIncorrect90]

Entirely due to preseason rankings and reputation. Shouldn't even have polls the first few weeks.

[@billymartin4363]

Franklin will never leave for USC

[@actionjackson1293]

He should. Realistically if he could turn USC into a potential playoff team every year or even make the playoffs 1 year, even if he doesn’t win a championship, it would do more for him than what he’s doing now at Penn State.

[@actionjackson1293]

Not to mention the difference in $$$. Now if Penn State matches salary I probably wouldn’t want to leave everything I’ve built.

[@Emperor_Fabulous]

@@actionjackson1293 factor in cost of living in LA vs State College. USC would have to pay him roughly 10 million per year to compare add the fact that Penn State, across all sports, does not do the revolving door. Not counting interims USC has had 3 head coaches the last decade and Penn State has had 3 head coaches since 1965. Can achieve everything at Penn State that he can at USC, USC would be a step back from where he already is. No benefit financially to make the move. Job security where he is. There's no reason for him to go to USC.

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

Thanks Joel!

[@David-bs4rv]

Go, Nittany Lions! Franklin always classy and engaging.

[@sicily7220]

James Franklin best coaching moment\challenges (and many other coaches did very similiar things). 2020: Yes PSU went 4-5, but PSU lost their first 5 and out of those 5 loses only one game they were beaten without a doubt. You had Covid, you had the big ten cancel the season prematurely and change direction where you had ready the team to play without the school being fully open to support you. You have all your coaches away from their families, he was away from his family (had them stay in Florida I believe), you have bunch of kids that are looking to you to give all the answers to their questions. You lost your best or one of best offensive players (RB) in the spring to a heart defect, your best defensive player opted out. You are sitting 0-5 @ one the top college FB schools in the nation. You rattle off 4 straight wins against tough competition, great turn around. You had so much going against you and your kids. Reminder for those who did not know: PSU after their bowl win in 2019, if you looked forward at that point you star RB and LB, solid O-line and D-line, Solid QB, and very good WR Corps. Alot of this was lost for one reason or another in 2020.

[@aaronrogers5988]

Ohio State & Clemson there because of their brand. Last year was a chance for yall to start rating teams accurately. But no, let's focus on what teams have done in the past.

[@HawkinsTTV]

The one coach I want to see go to USC the most is Luke Fickell from Cincinatti. I'm not even a fan of USC but I think that school would be a good fit for him and them. I don't know why but it feels like when Chris Petersen went from Boise State to Washington, would be a similar kind of vibe. I don't think he would go there but if he did I bet he would have some success with the way he coaches.

[@spartaninvirginia]

USC will have to dangle a lot of money to get Fickell. He's coached in Ohio quote literally his entire life and Cincinnati is a few short years off from joining the Big Twelve. Cincinnati is currently in a better place than USC.

[@paulcampbell8696]

I love Joel, but having Florida under Clemson makes me question how much he really thinks these rankings through. Why is he even mentioning Notre Dame, who almost lost to a couple of the worst teams in the country? What have they shown? He is surprisingly swayed by familiar name brands...

[@CraftyCohorts]

Nope, not sure how u have Ohio State as a top 10 team at this point in time

[@clarencewalder2985]

well really nobody deserves to be n top 10. Every team has flaws, and no team has been dominant. Even Alabama... Georgia Penn state Oklahoma Iowa to name a few are good teams but not great and from week to week u can see that these teams are not as good as advertised. So the top ten teams will change from week to week because I believe no team will be undeated at the end of the year

I can’t wait this year is the year PENN STATE TAKES IT ALL WITH THE TOUGHEST SCHEDULE

[@brucetucker4847]

I'd love to see it but that schedule is brutal. At Iowa, at OSU, at MSU, at least they get Michigan at home but that is four more games in the regular season where they are absolutely going to have to bring 100% to get a win. Then probably Iowa again in the B1G championship. OTOH, they could get in with a loss to Iowa if they win the conference title, but if they lose to OSU or Michigan they'll need help from other teams to win the division.

Enough with the Big-10 talk. Alabama and Georgia will be in the CFP regardless of the result of the SEC Championship (provided it's competitive). Otherwise, the other two semifinalists will be the winners of two of the other four Power Five Conferences or an always overrated Notre Dame. And, none of those teams will stand a chance against Alabama or Georgia. The only suspense will be the seedings to see if Alabama and Georgia can face each other in the CFP Championship. It would be a shame if they faced off in the semi-finals just to see the winner blowout a team like Oregon, Penn St., Clemson or Oklahoma in the final. And , please. No more talk about Cincinnati.
