Joel Klatt weighs in on initial CFP rankings, talks OSU, Oregon's playoff hopes | CFB | THE HERD 

Would a CFP expansion be good for College Football?

I love a wholesome father/son conversation.

I am 100% here for Joel Klatt bashing NBA TV ratings.

"One of us was alive in the 50s"

Father and son time

I’ve been waiting all day for this.

KLATT!!!! Best segment on FS1

I wait all week for this video/ segment with Joe Klatt!

This is the best I’ve seen Collin in an argument with Joel klatt

Broussard AND Colins dad in the same day? Now this is epic

Joel Klatt needs his own show. He is the best sports analyst on television

THEY MENTIONED US! MINNESOTA WE MADE IT!

Joel is so right on the urgency of the regular season being a big differentiator from the NFL season

"$500 shoes that look like he got them off the guy at the corner." - Joel Klatt ladies and gentleman

These two are great together

I don't even watch college football but I come here just to see klatt serve his son Colin up everytime 😂😂

Dad came back home early from work to teach Colin a lesson

80-7 damn thats toughhh

Colin, " i relate to America !" Klatt, "with those $500 shoes?"

Osu was scheduled to play TCU but TCU pulled out so they had to add Miami of Ohio... osu tries to schedule one big out of conference game a year (ex. Oklahoma, TCU, VT, Oregon in the future, etc.)

Joel is the best. They bring the best out in each other and I look forward to the video every week.

Wofford and Citadel gotta be the most talked about teams in the country 😂😂

Ohio State Demolished Wisconsin and now Everyone acts like that isn’t a good win

This segment just gets better by the week. Freaking outstanding. Oh, and Klatt wins yet again.

It’s so weird how Colin’s father is younger than him.

8 teams makes it possible for a team that has fluke loss to make it . Sometimes the best team has injuries

Joel is SPOT ON about expanding the playoff. One of the reasons ive always loved college football is that every week matters. ITS NOT ABOUT TV RATINGS!!! Hes right!!

As always, Joel makes such great points. If there was an 8 team playoff, then we wouldn't care to watch the regular season as much because we're waiting for the 'real games' in the playoffs, similar to nba or cbb or nfl. The games matter but not as much when you're already 'in'. I totally agree with that. 4 teams makes the top four spots so elusive that you need to be excellent, however the problem is teams like bama want to be excellent at wofford. I get Colin saying he would still love to watch Bama-LSU this weekend even if they meet in the playoffs, however, what he doesn't realize is that both teams may not lay everything out on the line this coming weekend if they're already in an 8 team playoff picture. The big thing here is that watching the top 8 teams go after it in a sudden death playoff is much more entertaining than playing in the regular season because you can still lose and be in the playoff if you're a more dominant/skilled team, which will keep hard scheduling and looking fine vs dominating in the eye test while playing bad teams. Hard to say which is right here. Joel does make great points, but I still want an 8 team playoff. Get more teams in there, make it a sudden death style. The Semi Finals and Finals bring so much hype and excitement, imagine there being twice as much! We just need to find a way to not make two teams in the playoffs (lsu-bama), take this Saturday lightly if they already know they're in. Solution? To get in the 8 spots, both teams (LSU-Bama) need to make this Saturday's game close/not get trampled to stay in that playoff picture.

I’m a simple man, I see Joel and I click

Look, Joel Klatt is far and away my favorite analyst/commentator in football, but I think hes absolutely wrong about regular season rivalry games meaning nothing in the FBS in the event of an 8 team playoff. I know most people on this thread probably dont follow or care about FCS football, but hear me out if you will: I'm from North Dakota and I'm an NDSU fan. NDSU and South Dakota State are perennially two of the top teams in the FCS and obviously being in the same conference, they play each other every year for the Dakota Marker (the marker is a replica of the one that is actually used to mark the border between the two states). Both of these teams know that on any given year, win or lose, they will both likely still be in the playoffs given the 24 team format. Despite this knowledge, both teams and fanbases make this rivalry one of the best in college football. The games are always thrilling and usually very close, the fans make the atmosphere absolutely electric, and the overall quality of the product on the field year in and year out is top notch. I think the idea of these FBS rivalry games becoming meaningless in an expanded playoff format is completely overblown.

I always love Wednesdays, because that means it's time for the weekly Take Your Son to Work Day with Joel and Colin.

I disagree with some of Cowherd's outlandish takes sometimes, but I absolutely admire his ability to accept someone disagreeing with him and even making fun of his opinion. Really is an underrated quality to have.

The for being on the Joel. Always great truth and insight.

Big daddy Klatt in the building

Now that's the Klatt I love!

Damn, I loved this segment. Heated arguments, beautiful

Def keep bringing Joel back y’all two are great together

Every week seems like a playoff game for these big teams if they lose they could be done that’s what makes it so entertaining

If Oregon wins out they need to be in the playoffs

Great segment guys!

I feel like they should just stream an hour long segment once a week with these two, and then bring on additional guests like Urban Meyer or Reggie Bush. I’d watch the whole thing

God, I’ve never seen Joel have a trash argument but man he got close this time.

Joe Klatt is right. Alabama-LSU, Penn State-Ohio State, and Florida-Georgia wouldn’t matter. 5 of those team would go to the playoffs

I love these Klatt and Cowherd discussions. Fun, informative.

Impressed with Colin stepping up to the plate. Love these herd/klatt segments.

Klatt dropping truth bombs on this bum

8 team playoff, 5 conference champions and 3 at large, seeded by committee and the top 4 get home games in the first round.

@12:30 I agree with Klatt. For the casual fans, a ‘bama vs. LSU game in the regular season would mean less over time with an 8-team playoff. Maybe not the first or second year of the 8-team playoff but over time, some of the rivalry games and current “big games” would matter less because 1 and 2 loss teams in Power conferences would still get playoff bids anyway. So the regular season WOULD mean less. Agree with Joel. Although it would give way to out of conference rivalries to take shape via a larger playoff format (i.e. Clemson vs. ‘bama).

Man I love klatt, has sound opinions and fights for it. Keep it up klatt

But Joel the Bama/LSU game would matter because the loser/winner would be lower and higher in the playoff system, thus creating a harder or easier road for the team to win

Make the regular season factor into home field advantage, there...now it all matters. 8 teams would not devalue the season...not even close.

Colin and Klatt going at it like a couple of hens. I love it. It's like Christmas morning every week. Thanks guys.

I love Colin & Klatt together

“Justin Herbert, Jake Fromm are legit NFL QBs” Watch Jalen Hurts on the Broncos be better than both of them.

It’s week 10 and Colin still can’t pronounce Wofford.

I literally don't watch college football but joel is entertaining

So what happens i Minnesota goes undefeated up until the Title game, and then loses to Ohio State by a touchdown? Are they in ? Whole system is flawed....

It should just be the 8 best teams if a 9-3 insert any other Conference champ gets an automatic bid I can’t accept that and it should just be the best teams

you can tell joel and colin really love each other ❤️

When these 2 get together it's classic

Clemson might beat the snot out of them all again as soon as Dabo doesn’t play 3rd and not rostered players most of the games.

Every game matters in college football. The only reason I stay stuck to the TV every Saturday. And the NFL's per game ratings are only higher because there are far fewer teams which means far fewer games competing for viewership. The real determinant is game attendance where college kills the NFL.

This is the most on point Colin has been with the College Football Playoff and what they want in the end.

Why can't the FBS have a playoff system like the FCS?

Playoff seeding matters

Klatt cooked with the prediction of the expanded playoff and the shakiness of the Pac12

Joel Klatt is my favorite commentator

8 TEAM PLAYOFFS IS PERFECT

8 team playoff Each power 5 champ gets in Best group of 5 team in 2 wild cards in

Father and son moments are so precious

i love joel klatt bro

I love how much Joel just comes in and makes Colin sound like an amateur with no idea what he's talking about 😂

It should be an 8 team playoff seeded by record and SOS. Boom just solved the whole issue

Never watched one of these before. I'm about three minutes in and I've heard enough of this. Won't be listening to another of these :D

Joel Klatt is really great. I don’t have the same opinion as him, but when he makes his point it’s hard to argue back

The more the merrier wrt the playoffs. More opportunity for Cinderellas.

Joel Klatt looks like he could be in "Mad Men" going toe to toe with Don Draper

Joel Klatt is 100% right about the fact that having every game matter makes college football better. It is absolutely one of the reasons college football is more fun to watch than the NFL.I can't even understand why they are arguing that reality.

Joel Klatt needs his own show and he's amazing commentating college games. This guy is the real deal

Joe klatt be hating on LSU lol. He just biased cuz he has a man crush on that db young. No1 n no2 won't be heavily watched?!?! Foh

"the regular season doesnt matter" is the dumbest argument i have ever heard

I LOVE that every.single.week.matters. I hate that OSU has been left out of the playoffs and I was angry they were, but I love how important every game is!

I love it when they do a show together

Klatt with a rare L in the last argument

ohio state wins it this year over LSU

I agree with Joel, an 8 team playoff would ruin the importance of the regular season

Best day of the week

EVERYBODY IS SLEEPING ON OREGON!!!!

why should alabama be ahead of clemson when they just got destroyed by them last year?

Klatt makes a good point. I only watched the Florida vs Georgia game for one simple reason. I’m a Tennessee fan. usually that game decides who Tennessee will have to beat in terms of record to go to the sec championship game.

Klatt's actually top class, talks a lot of sense

Need more Klatt. He tells it like it is.

I love when klatt comes on

Agree with Colin here 100%

Who is Klatt? The most accurate commentator in college football ball! Well done fine Sir!!

I wish Joel Klatt was my best friend lmao I just know when he played ball he was that one dude on the team everyone loved kicking it with

Love Cowherd and Klatt killin him is the best

Considering the games coming... Why is the (in video) question about who wins between Ohio State and Maryland??🤔😂

6 teams 1) ACC 2) PAC 12 3) Big 10 4) Big 12 5) SEC 6) Best Group of 5 champ decided by CFP committee (AAC, MWC, …etc.; forces ND to join a conference).

Leave it like it is. Adding teams to the playoff will take the meaning out of once incredibly important regular season games. It’s fine like it is.
