National analyst: Only reason CFP Committee ranked Texas A&M No. 4 was for TV ratings

Was Texas A&M indeed worthy of one of the top four spots in the initial College Football Playoff rankings ahead of the Washington Huskies? One national football analyst thinks there's something else afoot.

In an interview with BaD Radio on KTCK-AM 1310 AM The Ticket on Wednesday, Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt said he thinks A&M was only ranked that high to drive interest and TV ratings, not based on the Aggies' merit.

"If this was just going to be a press release and not a television show last night, there's no way Texas A&M is rated above Washington," Klatt said.
