The FOX Sports analyst criticized the voters for their placement of USC football, Miami football, and Tennessee football teams. During an episode of the “Joel Klatt Show,” the analyst criticized the AP voters for how they ranked the USC Trojans, especially in light of the team’s upcoming matchup against Michigan football. The Wolverines, who suffered a humbling defeat to the Texas Longhorns in Week 2, are expected to face a tough test against USC. Now you’re staring at a USC team that looks like they are for real,” Klatt said.

 

As Klatt reviewed the Wolverines’ upcoming schedule, featuring matchups against No. 11 USC, No. 9 Oregon, and No. 3 Ohio State, he launched into an intense rant.

“I put them in my top 10, and they deserve to be in the top 10. The AP voters are terrible. They just move them up and down. I’m sorry if you have an AP vote and you’re listening to this, I love you, I love your passion for the sport, [but] give me a break with what you gave us in the AP Poll. That was terrib le.”In this week’s AP Poll, USC holds the No. 11 spot, while Miami and Tennessee made it into the top 10. Miami football is ranked No. 10, and Tennessee football is No. 7. However, Klatt feels that the Hurricanes and Volunteers are still not receiving the proper recognition from AP voters.

“Like Tennessee and USC are clearly two of the best top-10 teams in the country, and so that’s where they should be. And you don’t have them there. And I think that that’s garbage. Miami as well. Miami as well,” he continue d.
