FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks for the teams that could be this season’s Indiana, Arizona State or SMU and surprise everyone by making the College Football Playoff. Klatt lists candidates from the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC and picks a team from each conference. In the Big Ten, he considers the cases for teams like Nebraska, USC and Washington to make a deep run this season. He details which SEC team he believes could take advantage of a favorable schedule to reach the CFP before making his pick out of a Big 12 Conference that has proven to be ripe for surprises. Klatt also explains why his ACC pick has a huge opportunity to gain momentum in Week 1 against a high-profile opponent. Klatt also recaps his Big Noon Conversation with the GOAT Tom Brady with some behind-the-scenes stories from their sit-down.
