College Football Quarterback Power Rankings: Week 10

Jake Browning is that guy. When you look at future NFL stars at the quarterback position, he has to be one of the first names, if not the first, that comes to mind. He might not have eye-popping yardage numbers, but when you watch his film, it’s clear that he’s one of the most accurate, best decision-making quarterbacks in the nation.

Washington is currently 8-0 and was ranked No. 5, surprisingly, in the opening College Football Playoff rankings. Many feel that the Huskies were slighted by the committee who ranked a one-loss Texas A&M team ahead of the unbeaten Huskies, but as long as they win out and come away with the conference title, they will likely make the playoff.

If that’s going to happen, Browning needs to both remain healthy and continue playing like he has through the first eight weeks.

Although he is coming off a rough two-game stretch in which he has completed just over 50 percent of his passes for 477 yards and five touchdowns with one interception — yes, that’s rough for his standards — he is still the Pac-12’s best quarterback.

Browning might just go wild against a mediocre Cal defense this weekend on the road.
