11. Bo Wallace, Ole Miss, 50.2 (10-23, 109 yards, 3 INT) — gone

10. Blake Sims, Alabama, 75.0 (22-36, 236 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT; 29 yards rushing, TD) — gone

9. Anthony Jennings, LSU, 76.2 (7-14, 151 yards, TD) — Handcuffed at the position throughout the season, LSU leaned on Jennings only a handful of times against Notre Dame, often asking its bruising running game to move the football. Jennings locked onto tight end DeSean Smith for a couple nice first downs and hit John Diarse on a fake draw 75-yard touchdown that tied the game on the Tigers’ first possession of the second half.

8. Maty Mauk, Mizzou, 78.9 (12-19, 97 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT; 38 yards rushing, TD) — One of the SEC’s top returning quarterbacks next season fought through cramps and sideline sickness to account for three total touchdowns — including two strikes to Bud Sasser — during the Tigers’ Citrus Bowl win over Minnesota. Mauk’s effectiveness came into question after two interceptions on Mizzou’s first two possessions, but he settled down to di rect an offense that finished with 434 total yards.

7. Brandon Allen, Arkansas, 85.1 (12-23, 160 yards, 2 TD) — Allen helped the Razorbacks finish 7-6 with a convincing victory over former Southwest rival Texas in Houston with a solid, mistake-free performance. His well-placed 5-yard pass to Keon Hatcher just before halftime provided Arkansas with a hefty lead at intermission. As the season progressed for Allen, decision-making improved as did the Razorbacks’ strength as a football team.

6. Hutson Mason, Georgia, 85.8 (10-15, 149 yards, TD) — gone

5. Nick Marshall, Auburn, 88.9 (15-22, 217 yards, 2 TD; 18 yards rushing) — gone

4. Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee, 91.5 (16-21, 129 yards, TD, INT; 76 yards rushing, 2 TD) — Another efficient outing for this sophomore quarterback led to the Vols’ first bowl win since 2008, a beatdown of Iowa in Jacksonville. Dobbs’ only interception came on a dropped ball in the second half by Von Pearson. Tennessee scored at least 45 points in three of Dobbs’ five starts this season after hitting that total just once last fall.

3. Dylan Thompson, South Carolina, 94.0 (22-34, 284 yards, 2 TD; rushing TD) — gone

2. Dak Prescott, Mississippi State, 96.5 (33-51, 453 yards, 3 TD, INT; 47 yards rushing, TD) — Prescott’s career-high passing totals were not enough in Miami due to Mississippi States ineptitude against Georgia Tech’s option run game. Playing from behind throughout, the bulldogs were forced to go pass-heavy offensively leading to Prescott’s career-highs in completions and attempts. Prescott ended his junior season with 42 total touchdowns (27 pass, 14 rush, 1 receiving) and now has until Jan. 15 to make a decision about the NFL Draft.

1. Kyle Allen, Texas A&M, 95.9 (22-35, 294 yards, 4 TD, INT; 33 yards rushing, TD) — Interviewing for next season’s starting quarterback job in College Station, Allen passed with flying colors with a freshman season-high five total touchdowns during the Aggies’ shootout win over West Virginia. Allen shook off a pick-six with several nice throws the rest of the way and was especially efficient in the red zone. He’ll battle Kenny Hill and incoming freshman Kyler Murray for the 2015 quarterback gig, but right now, has a sizable lead on both players.
