4. JUSTIN HERBERT, OREGON
Kept clean on 76.4% of his dropback attempts, Herbert has the benefit of playing behind the best offensive line in college football and all he's done in respone is field the country's 10th-highest passer rating on clean-pocket attempts. He's completed 188-of-256 clean-pocket attempts for 2,160 yards and 24 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions as he's been an absolute terror to defenses when kept clean. The scary part for opposing defenses as well is the fact that Herbert also ranks 18th in passer rating when pressured. He's thrown 18 big-time throws this year and even though his receivers have dropped 23 of his passes, still is averaging a healthy 8.3 yards per attempt. Through 10 games, Herbert is the nation's highest-graded passer to the intermediate (10-19 yards downfield) range. The potential matchup between Oregon-Herbert and Utah-Huntely gets more and more exciting as the days move on.
3. JALEN HURTS, OKLAHOMA
Hurts got himself into a hole against Baylor but was able to dig himself out in the largest come-from-behind victory in Oklahoma history as he's still atop the majority of leaderboards in a vast majority of PFF signature statistics. Hurts has the country's second-highest passer rating from a clean pocket, dissecting defenses to the tune of an 80.4% completion percentage as well as 19 touchdowns against just three interceptions. Even if he is pressured, he's still able to read the defense and get the ball out with terrific ability, ranking fourth in under pressure passer rating at 115.1. When throwing downfield, he's shown an ability that he hadn't shown prior, completing the nation's second-highest percentage of passes (69.1%) on throws at least 10 yards downfield, currently completing 81-of-117 attempts for 1,969 yards and 17 scores. Add to his impressive resume his incredibly efficient ground game that has seen him gain 669 yards on designed carries and 1,050 total rushing yards this year as he's set to break even his previous career-best 1,072 he set back in 2016. He's also owner of the highest game grade we've given to a quarterback in a single game this year, Hurts is absolutely playing himself to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony in the third straight season a Lincoln Riley led transfer QB will be at the ceremony.
