Joel Klatt analyses how No. 9 Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 10 Clemson Tigers’ week 10 losses will affect their playoff chances moving forward. Klatt says the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs will be put first in line as playoff contenders. This also opens up a door for some PAC-12 teams to grab a open lane to the playoffs. Klatt also mentions the Tennesse Volunteers being another team that can get a huge benefit from Alabama and Clemson losses. Fans are saying the Nick Saban era is done in Alabama but Joel says otherwise. Klatt puts Clemson on the low bar stating they need a big turn around to become playoff contenders.
