In order to win big in football, a team must have a skilled quarterback.

It’s essential to the game—if a team doesn’t have a solid quarterback, they’re more likely to be the bottom-dwellers of the league.

The 2012 college football season will be here before you know it, and throughout the year we will see superb play from great quarterbacks. It’s part of what makes college football so great.

Of course, some are better than others, and there are always a few that come out of nowhere to surprise the nation.

The elite quarterbacks for the 2012 season should have no problems leading their teams to great seasons all the while putting up exceptional stats.

Everyone has their own opinion, so be sure to drop a comment and let me know who you think the top 2012 quarterbacks are in college football.
