After last season’s expanded Playoff saw 6 teams make their first College Football Playoff appearance, FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt ranks the 10 teams most likely to make their first CFP appearance in this upcoming season – including a surprise team at #1. He evaluates which teams have the pieces to get through difficult schedules in the SEC like Florida and South Carolina. He also makes the case why this could be the year for Lincoln Riley and USC to make a breakthrough after a couple up-and-down seasons. Klatt also includes a Nebraska team returning their QB and looking to make a jump in Year 3 under Matt Rhule.
