4 schools either lost their starting QB form 2012 to the NFL draft or graduated him. 5 schools will have a QB battle on-going for a while as a result of losing last year's starting QB or poor QB play.

For these schools, based on on-field experience/performance and recruiting stature, I accounted for the QBs I believe will start next season:

WEST
1. AJ McCarron, Sr
a. 6’4, 215, 4.85
b. 3rd year starter
c. 2933/30/3; 49/4/1
d. 4 star recruit
e. 2nd Team All-SEC
f. 3rd team All-American

2. Zach Mettenberger, Sr
a. 6’5, 245, 4.90
b. 2nd year starter
c. 2,609/12/7; 47/-208/0
d. 4 star recruit

3. Johnny Manziel, RS-So
a. 6’1, 200, 4.55
b. 2nd year starter (Heisman winner)
c. 3706/26/9; 201/1410/21
d. 3 star recruit
e. 1st Team All-SEC
f. 1st Team All-American

4. Tyler Russell, RS-Sr
a. 6’5, 220, 4.95
b. 3rd year starter
c. 2897/24/10; 43/-5/2
d. 4 star recruit

5. Bo Wallace, Jr
a. 6’5, 215, 4.80
b. 2nd year starter
c. 2,994/22/17; 143/390/8
d. 3 star recruit

6. Brandon Allen, RS-So
a. 6’3, 214, 4.75
b. 1st year starter
c. 186/1/3; 8/-3/0
d. 4 star recruit

7. Kiehl Frazier, Jr
a. 6’2, 226, 4.65

This isn't true. He was the starter but was injured early in the season and never played down the stretch.

He started four games in 2011 as well.

Thanks to Justin Worley, our QB is not last in everything.

Brandon Allen will move up to about middle of the SEC pack QB by seasons end though.

So for Auburn, you go with the guy who turned the ball over the most and got benched midway through the season over the returning starter and the JUCO guy who every AU fan expects to start?
