College Football Quarterback Power Rankings: Week 8

What do the college football quarterback power rankings look like after Week 7 of the season?

Another solid week filled with elite quarterback play has come and gone and the Week 8 power rankings are here. Some quarterbacks stood out above the rest after the seventh week of action while others dropped off a bit.

Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cardinals staved off an upset against Duke. Many fans claimed that it hurt the sophomore dual-threat’s Heisman campaign, but that likely won’t have any negative effect. Same goes for Deshaun Watson and Clemson who narrowly defeated N.C. State, at home, in overtime.

Like every week, it was tough to leave some solid performers off the list. DeShone Kizer was in the power rankings just a few weeks ago, but he has since dropped because of major struggles within the team. Shane Buechele has been impressive for Texas, Washington State’s Luke Falk is becoming elite, Zach Terrell of Western Michigan has yet to throw a pick, Jalen Hurts of Alabama is one of my favorites and Josh Rosen might be the best quarterback in the country outside this list.

Heck, if UCLA was to win a few more of these close games, then the Bruins’ sophomore quarterback might be considered a Heisman contender and the top quarterback in college football.

Take a look at who tops our list of the Week 8 quarterback power rankings. Did anyone new make our list this week?
