Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the first CFP Rankings release of the season and he has questions. He disagrees with several of the Playoff Committee’s choices including their reasoning for dropping Ohio State down to #12. Klatt is stunned by Notre Dame falling all the way down to #11 and explains why the Irish’s path to the Playoff just got a whole lot tougher. He then breaks down the flaws with the decision to put 2-loss Alabama all the way up to #5 ahead of teams like Texas and a Tennessee team that just dominated them a few weeks ago yet find themselves 8 spots behind the Tide. He also discusses the Committee’s heavy emphasis on the SEC with 7 of the top 14 seeds and why we should not just accept that the first Rankings aren’t worth getting upset about because things will just work themselves out.

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to Ole Miss spoiling Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford behind Trinidad Chambliss’ big night. Klatt discusses who the best player in college football is after the Ole Miss QB’s star performance and whether the Rebels should be his new #1 in this week’s Top 10. He also breaks down Kiffin’s coaching performance in the game and where LSU goes from here.  Following Ohio State’s easy win over the weekend, Klatt marvels at Jeremiah Smith’s record-breaking career before pointing out some underlying issues that the Buckeyes need to get sorted out with Big Ten play about to start. He also shouts out an under-rated Head Coach who picked up another ranked win this week and deserves more recognition before wrapping his head around the crazy finish as NC State somehow managed to lose to  Vanderbilt. Klatt also reveals his full Top 10 list for the week and wonders whether everyone is sleeping on Georgia right now.
