During his show this week, Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt recapped Week 1 and picked LSU as the favorite in the SEC so far. Per On3:

“LSU looks great, and LSU looks balanced, and they’ve got an experienced quarterback, a coach that has been pointing at this for a long time and has done basically everything in the sport except get to the top of the mountain and he came here for that purpose. And they built a roster, and spent the money, and fixed the defense. And now, all of a sudden, like, I see it with LSU,” Klatt said. “LSU, after week one – I know, I don’t want to overreact. But they should be the favorite in the SEC. They’re the most complete team in the country. And, again, they’ve got the experience at quarterback, which we know is so important.

“I don’t really know yet about Georgia, okay. That’s to be fair. I know a lot about Alabama. I think I know enough about Texas. Texas is not going anywhere. I think Texas will be just fine. That’s a very good football team, but LSU looked better. There were certainly some holes for Texas, namely the quarterback play, the game plan – you know, that was not great. LSU didn’t have that. For those reasons, LSU, for me, is a favorite in the SEC coming out of week one.”
