Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt has updated his projected College Football Playoff rankings entering the month of November.
The broadcaster and former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback unveiled his new projected 12-team playoff ahead of Week 10 games on his daily podcast, The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast. Klatt ranks the Oregon Ducks as his No. 1 overall seed with the Georgia Bulldogs as the No. 2 seed.
The Clemson Tigers are Klatt’s projected No. 3 seed with the BYU Cougars the No. 4 seed. As a conference champion, Clemson would receive a first-round bye in the 12-team playoff and play in the quarterfinal round at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
Klatt has been high on Cade Klubnik and the Tigers in recent weeks, ranking them No. 6 in his updated Top 25 rankings earlier this week.

Klatt said on his podcast:
“Clemson is still my ACC champ. That’s going to remain the same (as last month). I’ve got them at No. 3.”
Klatt followed up his four projected conference champions with his seven at-large berths. He has the Ohio State Buckeyes as his No. 5 seed, the Texas Longhorns at No. 6, Penn State Nittany Lions at No. 7, Notre Dame Fighting Irish at No. 8, Tennessee Volunteers at No. 9, and the Alabama Crimson Tide as his No. 10 seed.
The Miami Hurricanes were Klatt’s No. 11 seed with Group of Five champion Boise State rounding out the field as the No. 12 seed.
