Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt responds to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey saying that the SEC is “by far” the best conference in college football despite the Big Ten winning the last 3 National Championships with 3 different teams. He also weighs in on Texas Tech challenging Texas to a game in Week 1 after Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian took a shot at their schedule. Klatt discusses the SEC’s lack of a unified stance on a new CFP format at their Spring Meetings and what it means for the future. He also reacts to Kirby Smart’s comments backing the idea of the SEC potentially breaking away from the rest of college football if things don’t change before saluting the conference for putting an end to cupcake week in November. 0:00-2:00 Takeaways from SEC spring meetings2:01-10:01 Greg Sankey says SEC is the strongest conference by far10:02-14:12 Where do things stand with the CFP format after the SEC spring meetings?14:13-20:36 Kirby Smart says he’s not afraid of SEC breaking away from rest of CFB20:37-23:43 Texas Tech offers to play Texas in week 123:44-25:21 NCAA denies reinstatement for QB Brendan Sorsby in gambling case25:22-27:35 SEC eliminates cupcake week in November27:36-29:20 Takeaways from SEC spring meetings Use my code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/KLATT10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
