Joel Klatt Breaks Down the CFP: Alabama–Oklahoma, Miami--Oklahoma, G5 Future & Michigan Fallout Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a deep dive into the biggest storylines surrounding the College Football Playoff and the state of the sport. We preview the massive CFP matchup between Alabama and Oklahoma — the Sooners won the regular-season meeting, but can Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide get revenge when it matters most? Joel breaks down the matchup, including how critical special teams and officiating could be when Alabama and Oklahoma collide again.

We also look ahead to Miami vs. Texas A&M in College Station in the first round of the playoff and debate who has the edge in one of the most intriguing opening-round games. Plus, Joel shares his thoughts on the future of Group of 5 teams in the College Football Playoff, why it matters for Tulane and James Madison to be competitive on the national stage, and whether any team playing in Round 1 can realistically win the national championship.

Finally, we address the messy situation at Michigan following the firing and arrest of Sherrone Moore and what it means for the Wolverines moving forward.

If you’re locked into the College Football Playoff, this is a must-watch conversation with one of the most respected voices in college football.
