Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to Ohio State’s impressive 2nd half against Penn State as the Buckeyes put on an offensive display that showed what they are capable of. He also breaks down the Heisman race and where Julian Sayin sits right now. Klatt then gives his thoughts on several of the matchups this weekend that served as eliminator-type games for the Playoff. He starts with Oklahoma’s win at Tennessee as Klatt breaks down where the game went wrong for the Vols and the fundamental flaw that is holding them back. He then discusses what to make of Texas’ win over Vanderbilt and whether it’s time to finally trust the Longhorns. He also reacts to the wins by Michigan and USC as they stay in the mix as 2-loss teams out of the Big Ten. Klatt reveals his latest Top 10 where he debates what to do with Georgia following yet another comeback win, this time against Florida. He wraps up the show by reacting to the news that Auburn has fired Hugh Freeze and breaks down how good of a job Auburn is. 0:00-2:20 Intro2:21-13:11 Ohio State beats Penn State 38-1413:12-21:10 Oklahoma knocks off Tennessee 33-2721:11-26:52 Texas hold off Vanderbilt 34-3126:53-30:49 Michigan struggles through 21-16 win30:50-34:36 USC picks up road win at Nebraska34:37-44:21 Joel’s week 10 top 1044:22-48:58 Auburn fires Hugh Freeze Learn more about your ad choices.
