Before the season began, the Pac-12 was being hyped as a conference that would have elite quarterback play and be a nightmare for defenses.
It’s good to see how that prediction has played out through the first quarter of the season and there’s no reason to believe that this trend won’t continue.
The Pac-12 has three Top 10 quarterbacks in the country, according to the PFF grading system and five in the Top 30. To show you how great the QB play has been, Oregon’s Bo Nix is ranked in the middle of the Pac and he’s been outstanding.
It’s going to be fun watching these quarterbacks compete against other as the season moves along. We got a little taste of that last week when Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders battled Bo Nix at Autzen. Although the matchup didn’t live up to the hype thanks to the Ducks sacking Sanders seven times, future matchups like these should be better.
Here are the PFF Pac-12 quarterback rankings through Week 4.
