What's up everybody? I'm Joel Clatt. Welcome in to Breaking the Huddle presented by Dr. Pepper. Of course it's a college football tradition. No tailgate or watch party is complete without a little Dr. Pepper. We got a huge show for you today and it's of course a special addition it's the championship weekend edition so we are live from indianapolis

in inside the broadcast booth where Gus Johnson and myself will call the Big Ten Championship game tomorrow night live on Fox.

We've got a lot to get into.

We're going to run down every single scenario of how the teams in the top 10 really can get into the playoff, what type of chaos has to happens

for teams like Colorado or Oklahoma.

We're also going to talk a little bit about Oklahoma State and Michigan and what their path

to a potential playoff would be and

we're going to do all of that with one of our best at Fox Sports, Stuart Mandel, who'll be

joining me in just a moment. But first we got a run down what the committee gave

us this week heading into these championship games the top ten as says the college football playoff committee.

Oh, you know how I love those 12 people Alabama up top at number one Ohio State at 2, Clemson at 3,

Washington at 4. Not much change there. Of course Michigan drops out of the

top 4 with their loss to the buck eyes a week ago. There at number 5, Wisconsin and Penn State, the Big Ten West

and Big Ten East champion who will be playing here in Indianapolis tomorrow night

at six and seven. Colorado, that's right, my alma mater, the buffs in the top 10 at number 8 playing

Washington tonight on Fox in Santa Clara for the PAC 12 championship and

then the de facto big 12 championship.

Top 10 matchup also on Fox tomorrow afternoon, 1130

as Oklahoma and Oklahoma State Tangle and Tim Brando and Spencer Tillman will be on that call.

So with that as we set the table, let's bring in our guy, our man, the playoff expert,

Stuart Mandel to join us right now on breaking the huddle.

Stewart's actually in his car.
