College Football Quarterback Power Rankings: Week 8

Davis Webb’s injury caused him to drop a little bit in this week’s rankings despite having a bye week. The guys in front of him played well enough to move up while the lingering effects of Webb’s last game, a loss to Oregon State, have moved him from No. 8 down to No. 10.

Don’t worry, though, as long as he comes back against Oregon this week and proves that his hand isn’t bothering him, he will likely be on the rise once again. A week off to heal surely had to help and Oregon’s porous defense will be a welcomed sight for the senior gunslinger.

Webb has been one of the top passers in the nation this season, accounting for 2,256 yards and 22 touchdowns. He has three 400-plus yard passing games, but his most recent performance against the Beavers really seemed to turn some people off on him. He passed for just 113 yards with an interception on 23-of-44 completions.

Filling the shoes of Jared Goff can’t be very easy, but the Texas Tech transfer has made the transition look seamless. Not many guys can come into a new system and lead the country in passing — for a few weeks. Webb is one of many current and former products of the Kliff Kingsbury passing attack in Lubbock.
