Joel Klatt’s Post-Spring Top 25 for the 2025 Season

Author: FOX Sports May 5, 2025 Duration: 53:03
With Spring Practice and the Transfer Portal window now in the past, Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt ranks his Post-Spring Top 25 for the upcoming season. He reveals his #1 team and breaks down how he made his choice out of teams like the defending National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes, an Arch Manning-led Texas Longhorns team and a Penn State squad returning loads of talent on both sides of the ball. He explains how he separated SEC teams like Alabama, Georgia and LSU and includes a surprise pick in his Top 10 that he feels could be this season’s Indiana on the way to a Playoff run. Klatt explains why he has confidence in Michigan this season despite the high-end talent that they lost off of last year’s roster. He also finds a place for Oklahoma in his Top 25 after the Sooners made some offseason additions that will instantly improve Brent Venables’ group.
