Analyzing Discontent in College Football Playoff Rankings

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the final College Football Playoff Rankings. He discusses why the Committee chose SMU over Alabama for the final at-large spot and whether it was the right decision. He breaks down why the Committee placed so much value on the Conference Championship Games and discusses whether that makes sense in this era of super conferences with imbalanced scheduling. He also explains why teams like Ohio State and Tennessee have legitimate complaints about their seeding and why the team that did everything right to receive the #1 seed, Oregon, was “rewarded” with a very difficult path thanks to some unintended consequences. Klatt also lays out how the CFP format could look different very soon.
