November 14, 20196 yr Captain Obvious here, but the point of these radio personalities is to drum up ratings. Klatt and Kannel are simply drumming up ratings from those who dislike the SEC, nothing more, just like Paul Finebaum and Kirk Herbstreit like to drum up ratings from the pro-SEC crowd.

Klatt and Kannel are simply drumming up ratings from those who dislike the SEC, nothing more, just like Paul Finebaum and Kirk Herbstreit like to drum up ratings from the pro-SEC crowd. Sure. But the difference is that Klatt actually knows how to use logic and reason in his arguments. Finebaum and Herbstreit's arguments often come down to, "because SEC...." I literally heard Herbstreit say on College Game Day last week that Alabama would "still be one of the four best teams in the country even if they lost every game." His reasoning was "because of the NFL talent", which is a patently absurd argument. Obviously he was taking it to the extreme, but that mentality is rampant at ESPN. Klatt calling out the CFP's ridiculously subjective process for ranking the teams each week deserves to be called out for the ridiculousness that it is. Outside of when there is a painfully obvious #1 team, it's just 10 old guys in a room picking teams based on brands and "eye test." The fact that you have two undefeated power 5 teams ranked behind multiple 1-loss power five teams is fucking absurd, especially when one of those two (Minnesota) has the second-best win in the entire field. And you can't tell me for one fucking second that Baylor would be ranked as low as they are if either OU or Texas had their exact record and exact results. Good for Klatt for pointing out the absurdity of it all.
November 14, 20196 yr Other than money, there’s no reason you cant continue to use the BCS style computers to get the top 25 on a weekly basis. Top 4 at the end of the year go to the playoff.

To be fair, UI was ranked above us when we played and they have a chance to move up the rankings by beating Minnesota this weekend. But yeah, we've really let Joel down this season. So, of course I like Joel and I get that he is sort of an SEC foil but only because he believes it. He's not disingenuous like Finebaum. There's no way Finebaum truly believes all the SEC bullshit he pumps.

November 14, 20196 yr I think Joel's brain got knocked around too much during the 2005 Big 12 Championship Game.

November 14, 20196 yr Love Joel Klatt and always look forward to his weekly appearance on The Ticker here in Dallas. He also does a podcast during the football season called Breaking the Huddle...well, sort of. Oddly, there is no real frequency as to how often it comes out (sometimes once a week but then other times not for several weeks and with seemingly no consistency on which day of the week it will drop) which is too bad as he is actually way more opinionated and animated on it than I have seen him in other formats. Also, as much as I love hearing the guy and his needling of SEC and Aggie in particular, as someone mentioned Finebaum above, let's not be totally bind to the fact that the conferences he seems to prop up and champion (Big 12, Big 10, Pac 12) happen to also be the ones that he broadcasts for. That's, of course, not a coincidence. That in no way takes away from me enjoying his opinions and all but my eyes are open to it... Edited November 14, 20196 yr by mdleast

I don't think it's propping up the other conferences so much as bringing the truth as it pertains to the SEC and the way that conference gerrymanders things to benefit that conference.
November 14, 20196 yr If Greg McElroy can get over his SEC/Bama bias, he wasn't that bad on our broadcast last week.

November 15, 20196 yr McElroy is ok, and he's not bad on his satellite radio show either. But now they have him paired with that windbag Kannell, which makes McElroy appear far smarter by comparison, but brings the show down as a whole.

November 15, 20196 yr Joel Klatt's weekly CFB segment on TheTicket / BaD Radio is pure magic. I don't think that I've ever heard one that he didn't clown on aggie. It's "appointment radio".

November 15, 20196 yr Klatt seems like a guy who watches football rather than being handed reports from interns who watch the games.

I think he plays a little bit of a character. He has a turtleneck sponsor for God's sake. Also, he was definitely better when he was on ESPN with Ryen Russillo. I thought they were a pretty good team. Russillo is just good period.

They sort of had a Ticket-like, guy talk thing going on when they were together. It could be true that he's playing, but the character he's playing is doing him a disservice. I've yet to hear him make cogent argument on his show with Mckelroy.

Then that makes sense. It's amazing how many mysteries in life can be explained away once you realize you're dealing with a complete idiot.
November 16, 20196 yr Today was another good example of why Klatt is the best color guy in the business. He's just been all over this Michigan / Sparty game. Guy knows his shit.
January 7, 20223 yr I'm a big fan of Klatt and I was with him on all of that until I heard, "College football produces better men, period." College football has also turned out plenty of ultra-egotistical, selfish douchebags and roided-up violence junkies. And you could say, "Sure, TexArcher, but college football didn't necessarily make them that way." And I could say, "Maybe not, but it didn't fix them, either." College football is one of many college subjects, if you will, that can produce better men. But it isn't some panacea to turn a gangbanger with speed into Colin Powell.

December 16Dec 16 I agree that Cinderellas don't happen the same way in football, but that doesn't mean March madness is trash. Hell, it's arguably the best event in sports.
December 16Dec 16 I find it funny that he is out there grifting for the mouse wanting higher rated playoff games, not that fully disagree with him, football is more predictable.
December 16Dec 16 March Madness probably isn't the best way to determine a champion but it's the funnest, and that's why it's not changing.
December 16Dec 16 Still suffering brain damage from the Texas game. IMO, IU could be considered a Cinderella story given how far they’ve come under Cignetti.
