Joel Klatt explains why there are 10 teams that should be considered legitimate national title contenders heading into Week 5 of the college football season.
season and there are a number of teams that I consider to be"above-the-line" teams, or in other words … legitimate national championship contenders.
First off, this is great for the sport of college football. There have been years in the past where at the end of September, I felt like there were two or maybe three teams that actually had what it takes to compete for a national title. This year, it's way more than that, and I am here for it. The reason there is more parity this year is a combination of more teams being good and fewer teams being great. And ultimately, that makes for a more entertaining season and finish to the year.
With that said, I am going to take a look at the teams that I believe are"above the line," and others that fall just"below the line."This is the most obvious one, not because I think they're a great team this year, but it's obvious. Georgia is the most obvious team because it's going to be the toughest out in the country. This is a team that, from a roster standpoint, is as good as any out there.
I'm very proud of the fact that before the season began, I was on this train. Washington's incredible. When you look at the game logs, you'll notice that when Penix leaves the game, the Huskies have leads like 52-12, 41-0, 49-19 and 36-10. Penix has thrown 10 passes in the fourth quarter because Washington doesn't need him to play.
