Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks for the 2nd-to-last Saturday of the regular season. He begins by previewing the Big Noon Saturday on FOX game as #1 Ohio State take on Rutgers as the Buckeyes look to avoid a letdown the week before The Game. He then makes his pick in what he calls a de facto playoff game between USC and Oregon. Will Oklahoma keep things rolling in a ranked matchup vs Missouri? Klatt tries to make sense of 2 betting lines in big games this weekend before making his picks as #11 BYU takes on Cincinnati and #16 Georgia Tech looks to punch their ticket to the ACC Title Game in their matchup with Pitt. Following his picks, Klatt reacts to the news that Virginia Tech has hired James Franklin and gives his thoughts on the hire. He finishes the show by breaking down the latest in the saga at Ole Miss as Lane Kiffin has yet to commit to the future there amid reported interest from Florida and LSU. 0:00-2:14 Intro2:15-7:23 Rutgers vs. Ohio State7:24-11:47 USC vs. Oregon11:48-16:11 BYU vs. Cincinnati16:12-19:28 Missouri vs. Oklahoma19:29-27:50 Pitt vs. Georgia Tech27:51-30:04 James Franklin hired by Virginia Tech & Lane Kiffin speculation Use my code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/KLATT10Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
