Joel Klatt Reveals Updated Top 10 College Football QBs — With a New Name at No. 1
Let's face it: We were wrong about Arch Manning, Cade Klubnik and a few other quarterbacks entering the 2025 college football season.
The Texas and Clemson quarterbacks were widely viewed as two of the top quarterbacks in the nation before the year began. In fact, FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt ranked Klubnik and Manning as his No. 1 and No. 2 quarterbacks in the country, respectively, prior to the start of the new season.
However, we have yet to experience "Arch Mania" and Clemson has quickly picked up two losses, putting its national championship hopes in peril. So, at a chance of redemption, Klatt re-ranked the 10 best quarterbacks in the nation in the most recent episode of "The Joel Klatt Show."

The Oregon Ducks have been one of the hottest teams in the country to begin the season, sprinting out to a 3-0 start. The first two weeks of the season saw the Ducks post massive blowouts, but this last game against the Northwestern Wildcats was their toughest victory yet.
The game had an extremely early start time, which seemed to affect Oregon as they showed a bit of sloppiness, leading to their smallest margin of victory this season. But that doesn’t matter to bettors as the team opens as -34.5-point favorites against the Oregon State Beavers according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Even though Oregon and Northwestern kicked off conference play with their nationally televised matchup, the league’s Week 3 slate was mostly about Big Ten teams trying to avoid disaster in what amounted to a collective tune-up before everything ramps up in Week 4.

The Ducks got off to a somewhat sluggish start in their early Saturday game against Northwestern, but they eventually found their gear. The final score was 34-14, but the Ducks were up 34-0 over halfway through the fourth quarter before the Wildcats scored two touchdowns in the final 6 minutes. The numbers allowed in garbage time like that are considered when adjusting these ratings, so there was no impact on the Ducks' standing this week. Last week: 2 | National Title Odds: +650

3. Oregon
Klatt's take: Saw Oregon in person, and I was impressed. They are going to need to defend the run a lot better than they did against Northwestern, but still, overall, that offense can be explosive. And their quarterback, Dante Moore, might be — might be — one of the better if not the best quarterback in the country.

Through two first two weeks of the season, the Oregon Ducks' defense was one of the best in the country, giving up just 16 total points to Montana State and Oklahoma State. On Saturday against Northwestern, the trend continued.
Though the Ducks allowed 14 points, both touchdowns came in the latter half of the fourth quarter with the game well in hand. And for a third consecutive week, there were plenty of contributors — a theme of Oregon in 2025: talent and depth at nearly every position.

he Oregon Ducks' Week 3 offensive performance, which produced four touchdowns and two field goals, was far different from what they showed in Weeks 1 and 2, when they scored 59 and 59 points, respectively.
Despite the stark drop in points on the board, there was a lot of positives that came out of their matchup with the Northwestern Wildcats, who managed to run the ball and chew clock against the Ducks' defense.
For starters, Oregon was whistled for zero penalties — a testament to Dan Lanning's coaching and the poise of what's considered to be a rather young squad. They also executed at a high rate on third down, converting seven of 11 opportunities and registering 21 first downs. The Ducks had several sustained drives combined with their patented quick-scoring drives.

Oregon and Oregon State set to continue football rivalry through at least 2032
Next season will mark the first time Oregon and Oregon State will not face each other in football in more than 80 years.
But a multi-year agreement to restore the rivalry starting in 2027, as reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive last week, would keep the series alive through 2032, according to a spokesperson for Oregon athletics.
