[@freeheeler00]

Michigan will surprise again this year. The depth is much better than anybody realizes. They brought in five or six key transfers and only two of them are projected as starters because the younger guys are stepping up after getting some reps last season. Listen, Michigan's defense can arguably boast that they have the best secondary in the Big Ten with the best cornerback in all of college football who by all accounts is projected to be a Top Five pick, the best two defensive tackles in the country that could be high draft picks themselves, and the two best starting linebackers in the Big Ten, both of which will be drafted too. When you add Wink Martindale to the equation you have what looks like the closest thing to an actual NFL defense in all of college football.

[@sleipnir7124]

I agree with these takes. As an Ohio State fan, I also agree that the Buckeyes must go deep in the playoff and win against Michigan. Will they do it? Who knows, but considering everything that has gone into this season, that has to be the bar. Also, if I am looking at this objectively, I think Michigan will win against Texas early in the season. Their D should be very good again this year and they are playing at home. One omission from Klatt's list is Oregon. What would a successful season be for them? My guess would be playoff semi-final. Not saying they cannot win the whole thing, but that should be their bar considering their talent, coaching and resources.

The only teams Michigan will struggle against is Oregon, Texas, and OSU. A team with as much going for them as it is will not lose every tough game. USC is not a tough game. Washington is not a tough game. They are a team with more experience than anyone else in this position compared to any other team in history.

[@jasonbugs2877]

Alabama has like the #2 or #3 roster in college football even after the transfers and they have a BETTER coaching staff than Alabama has had in probably 5 years? I do think there will be a 'transition period'. But, Alabama is going to be just as dominant as they've been the last 5-6 years. The Bama teams prior to 2020 were a different level than the Bama teams after. That will continue. But Bama will be in the national title picture every year under DeBoer. I don't really know why people are saying differently. Nothing supports that idea. On Texas? I've went back and looked through Texas's games. Who did they beat to garner the ranks that they have? Alabama. No one else. They have 0 meaningful wins outside of that Alabama win last year, period. And many people (including me) said Alabama was not a great team early last season. They couldn't pass and had a very mid-running game. Texas's ONLY dominant unit last year? Defensive line/run defense. It was perfectly suited for what Alabama's offense was at that time. Texas lost that game if it was played in week 10. I think Texas is overrated. They only GREAT unit that they had were on the defensive line and it's gone. Mark this post and come back to it in week 8 this season. I told you so. Michigan to be is a mystery. Everything in me says that they're over-ranked and will lose 3-5 games this year. But, I honestly have 0 insight inside the program. I don't know. They have a lot more talent on the roster than what I think initial impressions might think. But, what does the team look like without Harbaugh? We'll see. Colorado will be an 8-9 win team this year I think and that is a GOOD thing. People pushing championship run on Colorado are just not being realistic right now. Prime is a very unique character to have as your coach. He can do some special things. But, it's gonna take time to build a culture and more importantly a high level TEAM. Ohio State has the best roster in college football. Will it be enough? Ryan Day will not outcoach people like Kirby Smart or even Kalen DeBoer. But, Chip Kelly will play a MUCH BIGGER ROLE in that than anyone is talking about. Ryan Day has had multiple shots at the elite coaches in college football and has never beaten one of them. Chip Kelly has to play a big role in that going forward. If OSU loses to Michigan this year or gets beat by Georgia/Bama/Oregon or teams of that nature and doesn't make a big playoff run, I think Ryan Day is out the door. Final takes on other teams: Penn State 9-3 Georgia will have 1 loss going into the CFP Texas will have 3 losses Oklahoma will be one of those losses and Oklahoma will have 3 losses USC is going to have a rough year. I won't predict W/L as it's hard with Riley's playing style. But, the B1G and the SEC are a like in being line of scrimmage leagues. If you can't stand up at the LoS, you're gonna have a rough year. USC will not be able to do that against OSU, Penn State, Mich, etc.

[@2011hwalker]

I think Alabama will lose the pyschological edge the program had under Saban. There was an aura there and that aura really affected opposing teams. Many very very good teams were already mentally beaten heading into a Bama game, especially in Tuscaloosa. I saw it with Tenn teams, teams from Big 10-you sensed they didnt truly think they could beat Sabans teams. I think now opposing players and coaches will think - yes this roster is very good but they aren't that dominant dynasty. They are another really good team that has strengths but also weaknesses.

Universities with huge alumni/corporate sponsorship/ endowments will balance, if not surpass, smaller schools that don't have the money, just like the NFL. Schools closer to big cities/metroplexes, will eventually benefit from this... for all the obvious reasons. In the next decade, after programs eventually becoming LLCs, universities partially own the brand, but split the profits with a management company that handles the day to day. NFL 2.0

UCLA jumped from #102 in total defense to #11 in a single season, including holding USC to three (3!) yds rushing. that prompted USC to poach lynn away from UCLA less than a week later offering him over a mil a year. of course, it's the same reason michigan has owned duh osu three years straight after adopting the defensive system. cryin' day boasted he'd hang 100 on michigan after shredding DC don brown's defense. he hasn't even scored 100 pts total against michigan after making that boast.

Successful Year for Alabama will be 10 - 2 and host a Playoff Game.. There are 4 Games that will define Season this Year. @ Wisconsin, @ Oklahoma, @ LSU, @ Tennessee. That is 4 Tough Road Games. Quality team would got 2 - 2 but having Georgia at Home means you need to go 3 - 1 which will be quite a challenge for any team trying to make Playoff.

[@AlphaDwg]

uhh replace Wisconsin with Georgia. They are going to stomp a mudhole in Wisconsin. Maybe if that was game 1. it's week 3.

[@utahcanyon1000]

It ain't college football without Klatt.

[@dennisshaper4744]

Give me a break.

[@Freetalkinflock]

How do you define success for Oregon?!? Why did you leave out that top 5 program Joel 😅

[@dennisshaper4744]

Because they aren't. Try winning first. Talk and money.

[@kstarggg3483]

Alabama is the most talented team in the country in terms of “blue chip” prospects. Bama has a total of 15 five stars on their roster, most in the country. Georgia has the 2nd most with 12 five stars. You don’t have to be Saban to coach a bunch of 5 stars to a 10-11 win season. You just have to be better than Jimbo Fisher which isn’t hard to do lol.

[@timberghostsniper]

The 4 team playoff was "The Alabama Invitational"

[@cannonfilmz1749]

I see his face on any thumbnail and I click the video 😂

[@Jay-n262]

How did OSU get that cakewalk schedule only having to play one former PAC 12 team! Meanwhile UM has to play 3 along with Texas!

[@jkgreen27]

What’s success for Florida with that brutal schedule?

[@BudddyyRo]

Nobody is expecting Florida to be good this year

[@jkgreen27]

@@BudddyyRo oh I know 😂. Just was curious what he would say

[@tannerwade]

Oklahoma fan here I could see us winning 9 games

[@jonnybgood5764]

I won't say Natty for Michigan yet, but Texas better be ready. 😂

[@tylerpifer5966]

No Florida State/Georgia Tech preview?

[@davidbp4]

great breakdown, #14. Go Bull! (Durham). Go Buffalo! (Ralphie)

[@rogerrabbit8304]

Huge OSU fan here. We wont be able to win a natty with our current o line unless they get hungry out of nowhere

[@CooperNunn-i5j]

I keep hearing about teams you think should make the cfb playoff. What do you think your potential bracket is?

[@RadicallyOptimistic]

Thank you Joel for actually paying attention to teams all around the country! Much better than another podcaster who’s name starts with J

[@leemarie7724]

Awwwww....can't stand SEC information but you'll listen to Klatt talk Big 10 and Big 12 all day?

[@greatloverofmusic1]

​@@leemarie7724I'm a Big 10 guy and readily admit that the SEC is the best. Maybe you could call it SEC fatigue, not whinging.

[@RadicallyOptimistic]

Klatt does talk SEC teams. There’s nothing wrong with talking SEC. There is something wrong with only talking SEC + Miami & FSU

[@tjadams1089]

Josh is a million times better than

[@RadicallyOptimistic]

Because you’re a Bama fan. He doesn’t care about anyone outside of the southeast corner of the country and maybe Oregon and Michigan. He pays no attention to future quarterfinal member Utah and possible playoff team USC

[@oldmcdonald3376]

klatt talks about the same teams week in and week out

[@kareemleverio9815]

Everybody who doubts Colorado will see this year😂😂 we got a top two QB and the best ATH in country.

[@20Schmidt]

Michigan takes a step back, imo...should still make 12-team field, though

[@zorianthornton6698]

Hoping for Virginia Tech to have a good enough season to get some love on this show at some point during the year 🦃

[@keroflobs]

I’m a USC fan but that roster looks fun, ppl should be talking about them for sure

[@greenbaypackers4464]

Joel what do you think a successful season for Washington would be? Obviously they took the biggest hit of any team in the country losing all their offensive weapons and head coach. It's hard to say 6-6 is successful after finishing #2 in the previous season.

[@Jalreal]

Pull of some upsets in the new conference, maybe be in contention for the Big 10 title.

[@CuddyTG]

Live Joel Klatt show at USC vs Notre Dame or Penn State? Let's make it happen

[@iamphillyyy]

hey Joel, I think you might need a new mic. I suggest a shure sm7B this one’s cracking a lot.

[@DodieJ]

Oklahoma?? The one that hasn’t won a natty in 24 years? Oh, ok.
