‘Joel (Klatt) Is Right,’ ‘Move Them Up’ — CFB Fans Throw Their Weight Behind FOX A…
UCLAUCLA had one kneel-down left in Minneapolis when Joel Klatt turned his attention to the College Football Playoff committee. A 34–20 win over Minnesota made UCLA 9-0 for the first time since 1998.
It also gave fans a fresh reason to argue about a ranking they'd been marinating in since Tuesday. He questioned how much football the committee had watched before releasing its first rankings, then made his position clear.
UCLA came into Saturday fifth in the AP poll and eighth in the CFP rankings. The committee had five teams with at least one loss ahead of the Bruins, including two-loss Alabama and Texas.
Miami and Utah were the two unbeaten teams ahead of them. Committee chair Hunter Yurachek had addressed the gap between No. 3 Utah and No. 8 UCLA on Tuesday.
