He also discusses which players could be in New York next year for the Heisman ceremony. He reacts to the recent coaching moves in the sport and explains why coaches like Rich Rodriguez and Scott Frost are returning to their former schools in this new era of CFB and why it was smart for Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame to extend the Irish coach’s contract.

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down Ohio State’s emphatic win over #1 Oregon in the Rose Bowl as the Buckeyes continue to look like the best team in the nation. He discusses what Ohio State has figured out in their last 2 games that has resulted in the back-to-back blowout wins in the CFP and whether anyone can beat them when they are at this level.
