Episode description as stored

The expanded playoff has allowed 20 different teams to make it to a 12-team College Football Playoff over the last 2 years but which programs are most likely to make it to their first appearance this season? Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt tackles that question as he ranks his favorite candidates including teams that made the 4-team Playoff but have yet to make it into the 12-team format like Michigan and LSU as well as programs like USC still looking to make it back to the top of the sport. He also brings in teams from the Big 12 that will have a path to the Playoff like BYU and Arizona and an ACC team that could sneak their way into a win-and-in ACC Championship Game appearance.
