FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the First Round of the College Football Playoff as Ohio State, Texas, Penn State and Notre Dame all advanced to the Quarterfinals. He states why this is the version of Ohio State he’s been waiting to see and why they can win the National Championship. He breaks down what made Notre Dame and Penn State’s emphatic wins so impressive while giving Texas credit for withstanding a great performance from Clemson’s Cade Klubnik. Klatt also discusses the discourse around the Playoff this weekend and why it was so negative. He explains why he was so frustrated with the conversation questioning Indiana and SMU after their losses that he ended up tweeting at Lane Kiffin.
