Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the news that LSU has fired Head Coach Brian Kelly and breaks down where LSU sits in the hierarchy of best jobs in the sport and who they will be calling to be their next coach. Klatt reveals his latest Top 10 and considers how high to rank teams like Alabama after their comeback win over South Carolina and Texas A&M after dominating LSU on the road. He explains why Indiana is starting to remind him of a recent National Championship-winning team. Klatt also reacts to Lane Kiffin’s great soundbite after the big win over Oklahoma. He then explains why he’s so encouraged by what he’s seeing from Michigan in recent weeks. Klatt wraps up the show by discussing Texas’ comeback win at Mississippi State and whether they deserve to continue to be ranked over teams like Iowa after narrowly escaping against lower end SEC competition. 0:00-1:51 Intro1:52-19:52 Brian Kelly fired by LSU19:53-42:25Joel Klatt’s new top 1042:26-45:32 Michigan beats Michigan State45:43-51:48 Texas comes back against Mississippi State Learn more about your ad choices.
