Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down Ohio State’s emphatic win over #1 Oregon in the Rose Bowl as the Buckeyes continue to look like the best team in the nation. He discusses what Ohio State has figured out in their last 2 games that has resulted in the back-to-back blowout wins in the CFP and whether anyone can beat them when they are at this level. He also explains why the CFP format let Oregon down before proposing a permanent site for the National Championship Game. Klatt then debates how to feel about Texas after they moved onto the Semifinal but did so by narrowly escaping an upset-minded Arizona State squad. He gives Cam Skattebo his flowers after a performance for the ages and gives his take on the controversial targeting no-call at the end of the game. Klatt also explains why Penn State’s win over Boise State was big for the program but also covered up some issues they’ll have to fix to win in the next round. Finally, he discusses Michigan’s win over Alabama and Illinois’ win over South Carolina and hopes that the narrative of the SEC clearly being the best conference this year can finally be put to bed for the good of the sport as a whole. 0:00-1:28 Intro 1:29-2:30 Sugar Bowl postponed 2:31-19:33 Ohio State blows out Oregon in Rose Bowl 19:34-25:31 Rose Bowl should be the National Championship game 25:32-39:34 Texas survives Arizona State in 39-31 win 39:35-47:57 Penn State beats Boise State 31-14 47:58-54:37 Have bowl results ended the narrative that SEC was the best conference this season? 54:38-55:22 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
