Colin Cowherd & Joel Klatt DEBATE CFB playoff rankings & QB prospects | THE HERD College Football
Evaluating Top College Quarterbacks and Shifting Playoff Power Dynamics
Determine which NFL draft prospects, like Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore, truly warrant early picks based on situational performance and veteran experience versus sheer talent. Gain insight into how NIL is rapidly reshaping competitive parity across college football conferences.
Short Summary
- Fernando Mendoza showcased "Sunday stuff" with elite throws under duress against Penn State, despite Ty Simpson potentially having a superior college pedigree per Joel Klatt.
- Dante Moore, while talented, needs more college starts, a risk factor amplified by the current quarterback evaluation landscape favoring readiness.
- The discussion challenged the notion that West Coast teams cannot compete in cold weather, pointing to recent crossover success against high-profile Big Ten and traditional powers.
- NIL funds are accelerating parity, allowing non-traditional powers (BYU, Texas Tech) access to top-10 rankings, while potentially keeping top QBs in school longer.
- Colin and Joel debated differing philosophies on successful coaching succession: promoting internal coordinators versus hiring established "big dogs."
This segment analyzes NFL quarterback draft profiles—specifically Indiana's Fernando Mendoza and Oregon's Dante Moore—contrasting high-leverage performance against established production metrics. We also explore changing playoff accessibility driven by NIL economics and debate philosophical differences regarding successful coaching hires.

Klatt's my favorite guest on the herd. Wish he would be invited onto FTF more often
Father/Son. Always a pleasure!
Klatt just murders Colin every time
Klatt owns Cowheard and isn't afraid to stand up to him while other ppl just hit the agree button
Joel "All of the sudden" Klatt
Im from London England. Im a College Footbal casual. Even i can tell that Colin doesn't watch the games (aside from maybe USC, Texas, and Alabama), and doesn't know the sport. He reads stats sheets. This is my favourite segment of the week because i love seeing Klatt - an expert of the sport - take his belt off.
My god klatt cooked him the entire episode
5:19 second week of November in the Midwest isn’t cold.
The narrative he wants to end is the one he created 😂😂
Klatt gives it to Colin. Good stuff
