UCLA Over USC? Utah Edges Out BYU? Klatt Predicts Who's More Likely to Make CFP

Joel Klatt gives UCLA the CFP nod — he says the run game (Wayne Knight) will carry them despite QB Nico Iamaleava's likely season-ending knee injury.
Between one‑loss Ohio State and Texas, Klatt leans Ohio State as the more likely playoff team because of greater consistency.
Klatt names a few dark‑horses and toss‑ups to watch: Oklahoma State (Drew Mestemaker), Utah over BYU in the Big 12 race, and Iowa as a sleeper over Ole Miss for a CFP spot.
