Another week, another new No. 1 in PFF’s quarterback passing grades.

Each week, we compile where each Big Ten quarterback stands in terms of PFF’s cumulative season passing grades, and though the season started with Michigan football’s Cade McNamara in the lead, it was ceded after a while to Maryland’s Taulia Tagovailoa. However, the latter has become mistake-prone in recent weeks, and he was leap-frogged by another emerging quarterback in the conference.

We saw big weeks from Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud and Michigan State’s Payton Thorne. Would one of them start to cement themselves as the conference’s best? With that in mind, here are the updated rankings.
