Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down the controversial ending to the Michigan-Western Michigan game and whether the Wolverines should have gotten an extra second to complete the Hail Mary to win the game. He brings on FOX Sports Rules Analyst Mike Pereira to explain why the confusion happened before Klatt offers his solutions to fix the problem. Klatt also breaks down why the game should be sounding alarm bells for Bryce Underwood and the Michigan program. He also weighs in on LSU’s emphatic win over Dabo Swinney and Clemson and explains how Lane Kiffin is channeling Nick Saban and Pete Carroll in Baton Rouge. Klatt gives his takeaways from Oregon’s comeback win and whether he’s concerned about the Ducks and why Indiana may look different this season. Klatt reveals his first Top 10 since his Preseason Rankings and makes some big changes including who is at the top spot after Texas, LSU, Ohio State and Miami all cruised to easy wins.
