The Playoff Committee is heading for a trap + a Chaos Scenario for Rivalry Week

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the latest College Football Playoff rankings where he breaks down the Committee’s decisions and why they may be inadvertently walking into a trap that could damage the future of the sport. He then lays out a potential chaos situation this weekend that would create an even greater logjam on the bubble of the 12-team Playoff. He discusses Notre Dame’s continued ranking over Alabama inside the Top 10 as Miami inches closer to them this week. He also explains why Michigan’s ranking at #15 at the back of the pack of 2-losses bubble teams is sending a problematic signal for future non-conference scheduling. Klatt also discusses how he thinks the Lane Kiffin situation will play out in the coming week and how the Committee will handle his potential departure when evaluating Ole Miss. 0:00- 1:50 Intro 1:51-4:41 Initial reactions to Nov. 25 CFP rankings 4:42-9:32 What results this weekend would cause the most chaos for the committee? 9:33-12:36 Should Michigan be higher than #15? 12:37-19:52 Should Notre Dame be ranked above Alabama? 19:53-22:59 The dangers of a committee-based selection process for the CFP 23:00-26:45 What should the committee do if Lane Kiffin decides to leave for another job?
