What do the college football quarterback power rankings look like after Week 6 of the season?

There was plenty of quality play in Week 6 of the college football season pertaining to quarterbacks, but there were definitely some standouts. Every college football fan loves a team that can throw the ball around a bit, and this list is for them.

It seems like many college football teams are gearing toward a pass-first offense. The dual-threat ability of a quarterback is coveted now, though, which can fill the void for an offense that doesn’t have a particularly solid run game. Look no further than Lamar Jackson with Louisville.

The Cardinals have a decent run game without Jackson, but he can single-handedly alter the outcome of a game with his legs. That’s why many see him as the unquestioned leader to win the Heisman Trophy through six weeks this season. He’s coming off a bye in Week 6, so there’s nothing new to report on him.

Still, there were other dual-threats who made splashes last week and there may be a couple of new guys to make the power rankings this week. It’s tough to narrow college football down to just 10 guys, but 10-15 really stand out above the rest.

It was tough to leave guys like Luke Falk, Shane Buechele, DeShone Kizer, Mason Rudolph and Josh Rosen off this list, but that just goes to show how elite these 10 guys have been. Plus, Week 6 wasn’t a memorable one for Kizer who was dropped after making last week’s power rankings.

Take a look at the Week 7 college football quarterback power rankings. Hint: there were some major shake-ups.
