CFP Rankings Reaction: Is Notre Dame being protected? Do USC, Michigan & Texas have a path?

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the latest set of College Football Playoff Rankings. He begins by discussing the Notre Dame-Miami conundrum as the Irish come in at #9 while the team that beat them in Week 1, Miami, sits at #13. He explains how the Committee is protecting themselves from a difficult conversation with those two teams with their rankings. Klatt then looks at the paths for 3 blue bloods: #15 USC, #17 Texas & #18 Michigan and explains how viable each path is should they win their final games. How high would USC jump with a win at Oregon this weekend? Would a win over A&M be enough to launch Texas back into the Playoff picture and would a 5th straight win over #1 Ohio State send the Wolverines into the CFP?
