Joel Klatt on CFP Madness: Ohio State vs. Indiana, Alabama vs. Georgia, Lane Kiffin Fallout & More Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for an in-depth, high-energy conversation covering all things college football! We break down every major storyline heading into championship weekend and the College Football Playoff — including the massive #1 vs. #2 showdown between Ohio State and Indiana in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Klatt gives his thoughts on Kalen DeBoer’s gutsy 4th-down call in Alabama’s win at Auburn, weighs in on Alex Golesh taking over as Auburn’s new head coach, and reacts to Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss mid–playoff run to take the LSU job. We also dive into Ole Miss’ decision not to let Kiffin coach in the playoff, the latest updates on Penn State’s coaching search, and whether Brian Kelly’s time at LSU damaged his reputation in the college football world.

If you love college football analysis, Big Ten football, SEC football, coaching drama, playoff debates, and expert insight from one of the best voices in the sport, this is the interview for you.

The Ole Miss Rebels beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs 38-19 in the Egg Bowl Friday in Starkville. The loss ends the season for Mississippi State Football. For Ole Miss Football, the drama only began with the win. Head coach Lane Kiffin left Sunday for the LSU Tigers head coaching job.

The Oklahoma Sooners saved their Playoff lives with a 17-13 win at home over the LSU Tigers. Oklahoma Football scored with 4:16 to go to hold off LSU Football and hold their Playoff spot.

The Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Michigan Wolverines 27-9. Ohio State Football solidifies their spot in the Big Ten Championship Game and holds their #1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.
