Let's Rank 'Em!: Top 25 NCAA Football Quarterbacks Entering Week Eight

This college football season has involved some quarterbacks so far. I’ve seen most of these guys play and the rest I know I don’t even have to see, I can just look at their numbers and look at the teams that they play for and know that they have great talent. The best QB I’ve seen play this year is Houston Cougars QB Case Keenum. This guy should be a high consideration for the Heisman Trophy. Without him, Houston would definitely not have five wins to this point. I know you could also say that for other quarterbacks too, but Keenum has only played in six games and he’s already thrown for over 2,400 yards and 19 touchdowns. Other great quarterbacks from not-so-popular teams include Bowling Green’s Tyler Sheehan, Western Michigan’s Tim Hiller, and Toledo’s Aaron Opelt. Regardless of which team they play for, here are my top 25 NCAA quarterbacks that have played this year so far.
