FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt responds to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey saying that the SEC is “by far” the best conference in college football despite the Big Ten winning the last 3 National Championships with 3 different teams. He also weighs in on Texas Tech challenging Texas to a game in Week 1 after Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian took a shot at their schedule. Klatt discusses the SEC’s lack of a unified stance on a new CFP format at their Spring Meetings and what it means for the future. He also reacts to Kirby Smart’s comments backing the idea of the SEC potentially breaking away from the rest of college football if things don’t change before saluting the conference for putting an end to cupcake week in November.
