Pathways to the Playoff: Analyzing SEC Teams and Playoff Format

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the latest College Football Rankings as the Committee drops Indiana down to 10th following their loss to Ohio State. He discusses whether Hoosier fans should feel like they are safely inside the Playoff or in danger of being jumped by a team behind them. He breaks down whether the 3-loss SEC teams such as Alabama, Ole Miss or even South Carolina have a pathway to sneaking through the backdoor into the Field. Klatt breaks down if the Big 12 Champ could be vulnerable to missing out on the Playoff altogether and whether the CFP would actually leave a potential Big 12 Champion Colorado team out. He wraps up the episode by discussing whether the 12-team field is actually the best format for the Playoff and points out why the current system has some flaws that could very well show themselves this year.
