Summary

FOX Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to The CFP Rankings after Week 12 of the College Football season. The top four remains the same with Georgia coming in at number one, followed by Ohio State, Michigan, and TCU. But the CFP Committee surprised Joel by putting two-loss LSU ahead of one-loss USC at 5 and 6 respectively. Joel explains why moves like this lead to distrust in the system, and why it is yet another example that the 4-team College Football Playoff isn't good for the sport. Joel goes on to explain why Alabama is overvalued by the Committee this season, and how that affects other teams in the rankings. Finally, Joel closes by pointing out that if the CFP had a 12-team playoff, 25 teams would still be fighting for a spot and the sport would be in a better place because of it.
