What’s wrong with me? Why wouldn’t I have Jake Browning in my last quarterback power rankings? Yes, I was completely mistaken and the sophomore gunslinger has proven to be one of the best quarterbacks in the country as well as a top Heisman candidate.

After engineering a 44-6 blowout of Stanford in Week 5, Browning and the Washington Huskies hit the road to take on a struggling Oregon team. Not only did the Huskies win big, but they embarrassed the Ducks on their own turf, 70-21.

Browning deserved my respect last week, but for some reason I completely overlooked his performance. He completed 15-of-21 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns in the spanking of Stanford and had an even better showing against the Ducks. He finished 22-for-28 with 304 yards and six touchdowns.

This kid cannot be stopped right now and he’s quickly making a name for himself across the country. There might not be a more accurate passer in the Pac-12 right now as Browning is completing 72 percent of his throws.

Through six games, he has 1,418 yards, 23 touchdowns and just two interceptions. If your favorite NFL team is looking for a potential quarterback of the future, Browning might be the guy.
