Fox Sports’ lead analyst Joel Klatt is widely known for putting top gossip of the football world on the table. Every week Joel discusses his top ten teams and answers questions. With an image of being a fair analyst and his experience on the field, words coming out of his mouth make waves. On the August 28th episode, Joel Klatt ranked his top five quarterbacks in college football and the results were good for one and not so good for another player, including Shedeur Sanders and Carson Beck.

Joel Klatt started his projection by giving reasons for selecting his first QB “This guy is an excellent player, he led the SEC in passing last year; it’s his fifth year at Georgia and second year as a starter. He’s going to have a good year, and he’s going to have the opportunity to go out there and play maybe the most difficult road schedule in the sports.” He then announced his name by saying that he loves Carson Beck and that Carson is his number-one quarterback in college football.

After stating Carson Beck as his first choice, Joel Klatt went on and announced the rest of the quarterbacks on his top-five list. It goes with Dillon Gabriel, who secured the second team spot and earlier played at Oklahoma, Quinn Ewers of Texas; Cam Rising of Utah, and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado. Well, Klatt’s announcement could be a relaxation for Carson Beck, but football fans instantly noticed that Shedeur Sanders is not on his top two choices, resulting in disappointment for his fans. Besides that, the sporting news preseason All-America teams also favored Carson Beck and snubbed Shedeur. Added to that, let’s compare Gabriel and Sanders’ performances from the last season with Beck.
