Joel Klatt post-spring top 25 power rankings revealed

Spring ball is in the books for all college football teams and while the transfer portal and other facts will certainly change the complexion of the fall season, we have a better idea of who and what teams are at the moment.

And with that, Joel Klatt is weighing in.

The Fox Sports premier college football color commentator did his whole Monday show on his post-spring top 25 programs across the sport and was more bullish on some unpopular teams, but also more bearish on some that many think could be better this year.

Michigan’s Week 2 opponent leads off Klatt’s list as the No. 25 team in the country. The Sooners hope to be resurgent with John Mateer transferring from Washington State and Brent Venables taking over the defense.

Klatt’s take: “Now, a lot of people up until this point have overlooked Oklahoma in this process, but I’m not going to do that. I think Oklahoma is going to be a really good football team. They’re coming off obviously that disappointing 6-7 season after they won 10 games in 2023. The offense last year was a disaster. So they got better. They brought in one of the really good offensive coordinators in the country.”

Xix straight at the end of last season. I’m a big fan of Dave Aranda. He’s doing what Brent Venables is…
