## Resource

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to Michigan’s hiring of Kyle Whittingham to be their new Head Coach. He breaks down why Whittingham makes so much sense for the Wolverines program caught in difficult circumstances and also details the challenges the former Utah coach now has ahead of him. Klatt then makes his picks against the spread for the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals as Ohio State looks to avoid the upset against Miami and Oregon faces off with Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl. He then makes his pick in the Rose Bowl as #1 Indiana looks to continue their magical run under Curt Cignetti against Alabama. Klatt wraps the show with his pick in the Georgia-Ole Miss matchup before revealing the terms of a special giveaway prize.
