THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

Because if it's the FBS college football playoff, then I think there should be auto bids for all 10 conference champions as long as they don't have four losses.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

Then you do 14 at-large bids for the teams that are ranked the highest, and you don't stipulate the Big Ten gets this many, the SEC gets this many, whatever it is.

THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

To me, that's the best way forward, and we can finish college football before the second week of January, so there's not this confusion of less hype going into the national championship game like there has the past few seasons because you're competing with the NFL.

So I'm for the 2014 expansion because I actually like college sports and I don't want to see those go away.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

And college football is the one that supports most of these sports anyway.

THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

I think coaching staffs will tell you, Colin, that they don't look at those things, but they 100% do.

And what I feel about Fernando Mendoza is all the things that you just said.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

He's got the experience.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

He's got the right head on his shoulders.

And it's not like with Kirk Cousins in the roster, they're just, you know, a quarterback away from making it to the Super Bowl.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

So if you're trying to protect Fernando Mendoza away from bad scheduling or maybe getting too many losses on his record too early and maybe it crushes his confidence, I don't think that's the case.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

I think Kirk Cousins is there.

If you're going through the offseason program, you get in a training camp and you're like, you know,

THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

You know what?

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

Fernando's just not ready.

We're going to start Kirk.

And then if it doesn't go well with him, Fernando can come in and he can be the hero.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

But I think in our experience and what we've seen, even a guy from my own draft class with Russell Wilson, when they brought in Matt Flynn in Seattle and they thought to themselves, all right, we're going to start him.

The Herd with Colin Cowherd
THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

He's going to be the guy.

THE HERD - Hour 3 - Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

But Russell just outplayed him.
