Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his predictions for which teams will make the College Football Playoff and who will lift the trophy as National Champions at the end of the season. He begins the show with his Conference Championship Game Picks before revealing his full predicted bracket – making his picks for each round in the Playoff. Will the Big Ten make it 4 straight National Championships? Will Ohio State and Texas both make the Playoff after playing each other early in the season then going through two of the toughest schedules in the nation? Is Notre Dame poised to break through or could Curt Cignetti and Indiana really go back-to-back? Who will be the surprise teams to make the Playoff after beginning the season outside the Top 10? Klatt also breaks down a difficult debate for the last at-large spot and considers whether this is the year that a 9-3 team finally gets into the field.
