Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the First Round of the College Football Playoff. He points out the critical reasons why Alabama was able to storm back from a 17-0 deficit to stun Oklahoma in Norman. He also breaks down Miami’s 10-3 win in College Station upsetting Texas A&M as the Hurricanes advance to face Ohio State in the Quarterfinals. Klatt then discusses Ole Miss and Oregon after their comfortable wins and their chances in the next round as they get ready to face Georgia and Texas Tech. After two blowout losses by Tulane and James Madison on Saturday, Klatt discusses whether it makes sense for the Group of 5 teams to continue to receive an automatic bid into the CFP in the future. 0:00-2:20 Intro2:21-16:54 Alabama beats Oklahoma to move onto the Rose Bowl16:55-26:00 Miami upsets Texas A&M at Kyle Field26:01-28:46 Ole Miss beats Tulane in Pete Golding’s first win as head coach28:47-31:17 Oregon beats JMU31:18- 39:24 Should group of 5 teams get automatic berths into the playoff after two blowout losses?
