1. JOE BURROW, LSU
In a meteoric rise to the top, no quarterback can top the level of play that Burrow has been able to put forth to every level of the field and on any situation. When ‘any quarterback not named Joe Burrow' leads a PFF signature stat category becomes an accomplishment, you know how much of an impact you've made on the landscape of college football. Burrow is the nation's highest-graded passer throws targeted 10 or more yards downfield and on all throws as he also leads the country with 28 big-time throws. He's limited mistakes and thrown just nine turnover-worthy passes all season long despite playing some top-notch defenses in Alabama and Auburn to name a few. Burrow is all but a lock to win the Heisman Trophy this season as he's second in adjusted completion percentage at 83.8% meaning he's testing the defense downfield with great ability while also taking enough care of the football to ensure just his receivers have the ability to bring in the ball and not the defenders. He's the highest-graded passer under pressure and is setting LSU and PFF College records in the process of a historic season, the likes of which we haven't seen.
7. JAKE FROMM, GEORGIA
Fromm can't shake the game-manager label unfortunately but that's worked to his benefit following the South Carolina mishap. The Bulldogs have clinched the SEC title game and Fromm certainly has had a lot to do with that. He's connected on 52 passes for 1,175 yards on throws targeted at least 10 yards downfield, throwing 16 big-time throws and just three turnover-worthy passes. When given a clean pocket by his offensive line, something that is more frequent for him than most (77.9%, seventh-highest), Fromm has thrown 15 touchdowns against just two interceptions and his adjusted completion percentage of 74.0% tells a bigger picture. He's a sharp quarterback with his reads and every bit of a top-10 quarterback on a top-10 team.
10. MAC JONES, ALABAMA
If one thing is known after the departure of star Tua Tagovailoa, it's that this Alabama offense is as friendly to a quarterback as their is and it's likely set to get friendlier for Jones. They have the best receiving corps in the country for Jones to throw to as well as one of the nation's top running backs to rely on as he'll get a tune-up game against Western Carolina before the Iron Bowl in Week 14. In his lone start this season, Jones had a dominant outing, completing 18-of-22 passes for 235 yards, three scores and no interceptions against Arkansas. He's an accurate quarterback and though he is no Tua, he certainly can become something special if he takes over in turbulent times and leads the Crimson Tide to an 11-1 record this season. We'd rather be on the right side of history here for Jones as the stage is set for big things from him and we'd be stupid to go against a Nick Saban elected starting quarterback.

Pro Football Focus has Mac Jones ranked ahead of Anthony Gordon. Thank you for letting me know not to take Pro Football Focus seriously ever again.

Don’t get me wrong, Mac very well end up being a great QB but putting him at 10 now is laughable

Best thing I got from that list is:
48. JOHN RHYS PLUMLEE, OLE MISS
49. SHEA PATTERSON, MICHIGAN

Oh man he got that great arkansas team, quite the litmus test. Can't wait to see how he fares against Auburn

I'm biased, but I can never remember this big of a jump in a single season.

Kyler Murray, literally last season...

Even all the Bama fans are wondering what the hell they are talking about.
This guy was running the offense for the ZTA sorority last week and now he’s QB10 in CFB because he had a spot start against Arkansas and didn’t crap his pants with 4 1st Rd WRs?
Talk to me after we play Auburn.

Burrow has made a lot of money this year. The NFL will pay him handsomely based off this years performance.

Well, this is just more solid proof of Bama bias. Backup qb as a pretty good outing against the worst SEC team in 20 years and just like that......top 10. Lol
For fricks sake

I thought that PFF's whole deal was supposed to be an objective look at how guys actually preform their roles regardless of the talent around them.
what does this even mean? QB is probably the position that Saban has historically struggled with the most (not counting kickers) and if Nick could have had it his way Jones wouldn't have seen any real playing time this year
