FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks for the First Round Games of the College Football Playoff before making his full CFP bracket picks - including who he thinks will win the National Championship. He begins with the game between Indiana and Notre Dame and considers whether Curt Cignetti’s Cinderella squad can pull off the upset in South Bend. He then looks at SMU’s chances to knock off Penn State in State College and whether James Franklin will get a signature win of his tenure. Klatt breaks down the matchup between Clemson and Texas and discusses whether there should be concerns about Quinn Ewers in this matchup. He then analyzes the Tennessee-Ohio State game as the Buckeyes look to bounce back from their loss to Michigan. He discusses whether Ohio State will be able to correct their mistakes from that game against a team that is built similarly to the Wolverines with a strong Defensive Line and Run Game. Following his picks, he fills out his full bracket for the College Football Playoff and announces who he is picking to win the National Championship.
