Is ANYONE a lock for the College Football Playoff—and could Ohio State get the Florida State treatment? FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round to break down the CFP race, Ohio State’s loss at USC, Indiana’s narrow escape against Minnesota and a weekend that could shake up the entire college football landscape.
🏆 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF LOCKS & RANKINGS
Which teams, if any, have already done enough to secure a playoff spot? Klatt shares his expectations for the first College Football Playoff rankings and explains why he believes the rankings are the worst thing we do in college football. We discuss his concerns about selection committee biases and how those perceptions shape the postseason conversation.
🌰 OHIO STATE’S LOSS & THE JORDAN TRAVIS COMPARISON
After falling to USC, how much trouble are the Buckeyes in? With Ohio State’s starting quarterback sidelined, we ask whether the committee could evaluate the Buckeyes differently—and whether the controversy surrounding Florida State and Jordan Travis could become relevant to this year’s playoff debate.
〽️ MINNESOTA’S RESPONSE, UNBEATEN UCLA & INDIANA’S ESCAPE
Does Minnesota have anything left in the tank after its narrow loss to defending national champion Indiana? The Golden Gophers now host undefeated UCLA in another huge Big Ten matchup. Klatt discusses Minnesota’s challenge, the Bruins’ opportunity and Curt Cignetti’s curious clock management in Indiana’s close call.
🔥 MORE COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAOS COMING?
With multiple highly ranked teams facing dangerous opponents this weekend, is another wave of upsets on the way? We discuss the stakes for playoff contenders, potential shakeups in the rankings and how quickly the CFP picture could change.
🦓 KLATT BLASTS BIG 12 OFFICIATING
Klatt also takes aim at Big 12 officiating, sharing his frustration with the conference’s officials as the stakes rise across college football.
