Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt evaluates the state of the Big 12 including which teams he thinks will emerge at the top of the conference and whether it’ll be a two-bid league in the College Football Playoff. He then discusses how much can be made of Alabama’s blowout win on Saturday following the loss to Florida State and examines the Crimson Tide’s uphill path to the Playoff. Klatt reacts to the report that Colorado is making a big change at QB. He also looks at teams and players that aren’t getting the attention they deserve including Oregon – who he thinks is the most impressive team in the country so far.  Klatt also singles out USC's quietly impressive start to the season and points out a similarity to Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma teams that should give Trojan fans hope for the rest of the season. 0:00-2:55 Intro2:56-16:36 The state of the Big 1216:37-24:37 Alabama bounces back and what does it mean?24:38-30:06 Colorado making a QB change?30:07-47:36 Nobody is talking about….

So we'll get into that a little bit. And we got to touch on that Alabama game. It was one of those games I wanted to touch on in Monday's show. And we didn't get a chance to do that.
