College Football Quarterback Power Rankings: Week 6

What do the college football quarterback power rankings look like after Week 5 of the season?

The college football season is trucking along and fans are witnessing some great quarterback play through five weeks. Week 6 is approaching and there are 10 quarterbacks who have stood out above the rest.

Some teams don’t have to worry about the starting quarterback play while others have had issues through five weeks.

Surprisingly, a handful of teams with quarterbacks who have emerged as elite gunslingers are already out of the College Football Playoff race. Usually when you have an elite quarterback on the roster, wins aren’t so tough to come by, but tell that to Notre Dame, California, Oklahoma, Florida State and TCU.

Other teams have the luxury of possessing a solid defense to go along with a quarterback who can command an offense. Teams like Clemson, North Carolina, Houston and Louisville have stood out because they have quarterbacks who are excelling. It’s the most important position on the football field.

Ranking the 10 best quarterbacks in college football after five weeks of play isn’t as easy as you might think. There are plenty of guys deserving of a top-10 distinction and a handful of others who are unquestioned Heisman contenders. Unfortunately, I couldn’t include guys who have impressed me such as Jake Browning, Jalen Hurts and Shane Buechele, but they could be on it next week.

Take a look at this week’s power rankings for the top quarterbacks in college football.
