Get ready for some serious quarterback talk! The college football season is heating up, and CBS Sports has just released their top 25 quarterback rankings after week 7. These rankings are sure to spark some debate and get fans talking.
The Rise of the Studs
As the season progresses, certain quarterbacks are truly standing out from the pack. One such standout is Ty Simpson from Alabama. Simpson has been on fire, leading his team to five consecutive wins after an initial loss to Florida State. His performance against ranked opponents has him climbing the Heisman Trophy conversations. But here's where it gets controversial... some might argue that his success is a team effort, and we should keep an eye on how he performs in clutch moments.
The Fall and Rise of Others
While some quarterbacks are soaring, others have experienced a dip in their rankings. Beau Pribula of Missouri and Luke Altmyer of Illinois suffered losses this week, causing them to tumble down the rankings. However, this is a sport of second chances, and these players will be looking to prove their worth once again.
CBS Sports' Top 25 Quarterbacks
Ty Simpson (Alabama): Simpson's impressive stats speak for themselves. With 1,678 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and only one interception, he's a force to be reckoned with. His head coach, Kalen DeBoer, believes there's still room for improvement, which is a scary thought for opposing teams.
Fernando Mendoza (Indiana): Indiana's success this season has been largely attributed to Mendoza's steady hand at quarterback. With 1,423 yards, 17 touchdowns, and just two interceptions, he's a key reason why Indiana is ranked 3rd in the AP Poll for the first time in their history.
Haynes King (Georgia Tech): King is leading Georgia Tech to their best season in recent memory. With a perfect 6-0 record, including wins over ranked opponents, King has been a dual-threat sensation, passing for touchdowns and rushing for an impressive 440 yards and nine scores.
Jayden Maiava (USC): Maiava has been a revelation under Lincoln Riley's guidance. His passing yards and touchdowns are among the best in the NCAA, and he's got a reliable partner in wide receiver Makai Lemon. This duo is a force to be reckoned with.
Julian Sayin (Ohio State): Sayin has been a perfect fit for the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. His dominance in the Big Ten is undeniable, and his connection with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is a sight to behold.
Byrum Brown (USF): Brown has been a surprise package this season, leading USF to a 5-1 record. His passing and rushing stats are impressive, and he'll be looking to lead his team to a GO5 bid in the College Football Playoff.
Demond Williams Jr. (Washington): Williams is an exciting young talent, and his stats back it up. With 1,628 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and just one interception, he's a threat both through the air and on the ground.
CJ Carr (Notre Dame): Carr has turned his season around after a tough start, leading Notre Dame to four straight wins. His freshman campaign has been impressive, and he'll be looking to continue his success against USC this weekend.
Brendan Sorsby (Cincinnati): Sorsby has been nearly flawless since Cincinnati's season-opening loss. His passing stats are impressive, and he's on a hot streak with multiple touchdown games.
Sawyer Robertson (Baylor): Robertson leads the pack in passing yards and touchdowns, and his accuracy is a key asset. With big games against Hoover and TCU coming up, he'll be looking to solidify his place as one of the top quarterbacks in the nation.
