The 2023 college football season is nearing the halfway point of the college football season, meaning the award races and statistical races both within conferences and nationally are heating up including the Pac-12 QBR race.
At the top of the QBR rankings is Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. who has been phenomenal to start the season. USC’s Caleb Williams and Washington State’s Cameron Ward are in striking distance of Penix as the college football season heads toward its second half.
