Klatt’s New Projected College Football Playoff Bracket & Championship Game Picks

Ahead of the first College Football Playoff Rankings release next week, Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks and predictions the Conference Championship Games in the Big 12, SEC, Big 12 and ACC before filling out his bracket of 12 teams that he sees in the Playoff this season. Will Ohio State make it back to the Big Ten Championship Game with a backup QB for the final 5 games? Who comes out of an SEC where every team in the league has already suffered at least 1 conference loss: Georgia? Texas? Alabama? LSU? Klatt also makes his prediction for the Miami-Notre Dame game that will greatly affect the seeding in the Playoff bracket before revealing his seeds going 1 through 12 which includes a debate about 9-3 SEC teams fighting for the last at-large spot. He wraps up the show by discussing Jeremiah Smith’s Heisman chances against players like Miami’s Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney now that the betting favorite will have a 2nd-string QB throwing him passes.
