Joel Klatt: Indiana’s Rise, Alabama’s Struggles, Irish OUT, & How Many CFP Teams Can Win It All?

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for an in-depth breakdown of a wild weekend in college football and the ripple effects across the College Football Playoff landscape. We react to Indiana taking down Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game to earn the #1 seed in the CFP, and Joel shares his thoughts on just how real the Hoosiers’ title chances might be. We also dive into a fascinating comparison: how similar are Curt Cignetti and Nick Saban personality-wise? Plus, what’s really going on with Alabama’s offense, how much that puts pressure on an elite Crimson Tide defense, and whether Bama can still make a serious run. Joel weighs in on the big-picture question everyone’s asking: how many teams in the College Football Playoff can realistically win the national championship? We discuss Notre Dame being dropped from the playoff at the last minute, the coaching carousel news of Matt Campbell leaving Iowa State for Penn State, and even touch on the surprising headline of 44-year-old Phillip Rivers returning to the NFL. If you’re a fan of college football analysis, CFP debate, SEC and Big Ten coverage, and insight from one of the top voices in the sport, this episode is a must-watch. 👍 Like the video, 💬 share your reaction in the comments, and 🔔 subscribe to The Next Round YouTube channel for more college football interviews, reactions, and playoff coverage all season long! #CollegeFootball #JoelKlatt #CollegeFootballPlayoff #IndianaFootball #OhioStateFootball #AlabamaFootball #NotreDameFootball #BigTen #SECFootball #CFBPlayoff Learn more about your ad choices.
