College Football Playoff picks: Joel Klatt picks winners in Rose, Sugar bowls

College Football Playoff semifinals are on tap on Monday, and FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt is out with his final picks for the Rose and Sugar bowls.
Klatt has already offered an in-depth breakdown of the Rose Bowl between Alabama and Michigan. Klatt picked Alabama, but said the different versions of each team, from the beginning of the season, to their most recent game, make it difficult to explain how the game will unfold. However, Klatt points to Jalen Milroe being an X-factor, and that the Michigan rushing attack will be an important area to watch.
In the nightcap in New Orleans, Klatt picked Washington to knock off Texas in a game he sees having more potential to be high-scoring based on the skill position talent.
Klatt has said all 4 teams are capable of winning the national championship, so for the first time, he’s really eager to see how it transpires.
The games begin at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN.
