    Oklahoma stuns Texas, Georgia downs Alabama, Indiana keeps streak alive, UCLA’s CFP push + Top 10

    Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to a great Saturday in the sport beginning with Oklahoma’s upset of #1 Texas as he explains why Arch Manning and the Longhorn offense are so inconsistent and where he dropped them in his Top 10 this week. He then shifts to the thriller in Tuscaloosa as Kirby Smart and Georgia picked up their first win in Tuscaloosa in nearly 20 years. Did the Dawgs prove they are the best team in the country? How should Alabama be viewed after the loss and did the refs cost them that game? Klatt breaks down Indiana’s comeback win at Nebraska and points out the adjustments made to pull it off. Klatt also discusses UCLA’s big win in Eugene over Oregon and why it’s time to consider the Bruins a Playoff contender. Is it time to officially say Oregon is done while they watch their former OC Will Stein lead Kentucky to a Top-10 upset of LSU? Klatt wonders if USC’s win at Penn State will calm the hysteria around Lincoln Riley and the program for now. He reveals his latest Top 10 and explains his rankings for teams like Ohio State and Notre Dame following convincing wins over the weekend.

    Oregon’s back & USC’s down, Michigan stunned by Iowa, Colin Simmons’ celebration + Klatt’s Top 10

    Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down Oregon’s win at USC and why we shouldn’t discount the Ducks as contenders going forward. He gives his thoughts on the hit on Dante Moore and also explains why the loss isn’t just more of the same from USC. Klatt then explains how Iowa found a way to win in Ann Arbor as Michigan found itself on the wrong side of a walkoff this time. He explains the significance of Florida’s win over Ole Miss and how the Gators pathway to the Playoff just opened up. Klatt discusses #1 Texas’ narrow win at Tennessee and why the Longhorns have some things to clean up before going full on “old man yelling at the clouds” about Colin Simmons’ celebration penalty and how celebrating has gotten out of control. He also marvels at what Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith continues to do on the field and why he should be the Heisman favorite before raising a red flag for the Buckeyes despite their win. Klatt also rants about the decisions by the voters in the latest AP Top 25 and explains why the college game is much closer to the NFL game than ever before. He wraps up the show by revealing his own Top 10 for the week which includes a new #1.
