With conference championship weekend quickly approaching, debates surrounding which teams deserve to round out the College Football Playoff picture are sure to intensify in the coming days.
At the center of the conversation has been Ohio State (11–1) and Alabama (10–2), two teams the CFB world has seemingly been torn over in regards to which side has the stronger case to make the final four if any of the favorites, namely USC, fall out of contention. The Buckeyes and Crimson Tide ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in the latest AP Top 25 poll, behind No. 1 Georgia (12–0), No. 2 Michigan (12–0), No. 3 TCU (12–0) and No. 4 USC (11–1).
On Monday, Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt decided to add to the OSU-Bama debate with a resounding take that will certainly have its fair share of supporters and critics around the country. Needless to say, Klatt did not mince his words when revealing that he’s firmly backing Ryan Day’s Buckeyes despite the program coming off its first loss of the year in a 45–23 blowout against the Wolverines on Saturday.
