CBS Sports comes out with a weekly power ranking of the top 10 quarterbacks in college football. Writer David Cobb made the list, and there is a big SEC feel as 5 quarterbacks from the conference cracked the top 10.
Here’s a look at the full top 10:
As you can see, Trinidad Chambliss is the top-ranked quarterback in the SEC and No. 2 overall, trailing only Darian Mensah. Chambliss has a chance to deliver on the biggest stage in Week 3, as his Ole Miss Rebels take on Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers in the biggest game of the regular season.
Arch Manning is the second quarterback from the SEC to be on the list and is the third overall. He had his legacy-defining moment last week against Ohio State, as he led Texas back from a 23-3 fourth-quarter deficit to get the win.
Gunner Stockton is as steady of a player as there is in the country, and he has led the Georgia Bulldogs to an undefeated start on the season.
No player has been talked about more this season than Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor, who has put on a show for the Bulldogs in their 2-0 start. Mississippi State has a big game this weekend against South Carolina, and this game is an opportunity for Taylor to truly introduce himself to the country.
Rounding up the list is Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons, who has been terrific for the Tigers after transferring from Ole Miss last year. He has thrown for 544 yards and seven touchdowns, with zero interceptions.
