Through the first four weeks of the 2023 college football season, the Pac-12 has been one of the best conferences in all of college football. In week five, Southern California, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Wahington State, and Oregon State are ranked.
Week five of the 2023 season in the Pac-12 will be a short slate, with just five games scheduled to be played this week. Earlier this week, we previewed the weekly slate by ranking each of the five matchups in the conference.
With Week 5 in the Pac-12 getting underway on Friday night with Utah visiting Oregon State, College Sports Wire looks at how the Pac-12’s quarterbacks rank based on ESPN’s QBR metric.
