SEC Superiority DEAD? Is Indiana One of CFB’s Best Teams Ever? | Joel Klatt Talks College Football

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging, must-watch conversation on college football and the evolving College Football Playoff. We begin with Indiana’s dismantling of Oregon and the Hoosiers’ march to the national championship game. If Indiana goes on to beat Miami, where would this team rank among the greatest teams in college football history? And has Curt Cignetti passed Kirby Smart and others to become the best head coach in the sport?

Joel also delivers a bold hot take, arguing that the long-running narrative of SEC superiority is dead. We discuss Ty Simpson receiving massive offers to return to college football via the transfer portal and whether Trinidad Chambliss’ case for another year of eligibility at Ole Miss.

Finally, we zoom out and tackle one of the biggest debates in the sport: What is the right number of teams for the College Football Playoff?
