With the first month of the season in the books, FOX Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt decides which teams have separated themselves as legitimate national championship contenders in his eyes. He outlines which teams have made it “above the line” and others that fall just below the contender threshold. He considers where to place Pac-12 teams like Washington, USC and Utah as well as the 3 Big Ten East powers, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State. Klatt also discusses whether Alabama and Notre Dame still make the cut despite their early season losses and debates what to do with Florida State’s up-and-down season. He then goes into the mailbag to answer listener-submitted questions before providing an important update about the giveaway of Joel’s Rose Bowl hats.
