Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 6

How does Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord stack up with other Big Ten signal-callers after Week 6 using ESPN’s Total QBR metric? #B1G #GoBucks

OK. Now we’re six full weeks into the college football regular season, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at their position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who struggled in the first half against Maryland but had an excellent second half to lead his team to victory on Saturday.

But there were many other performances in the conference besides what we saw from the OSU signal caller and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when compared against each other.

The metric we like to use more than any other is ESPN’s Total QBR rating. We find it to be a better indicator of performance because it takes into account many aspects others don’t, including the level of competition.

So what is Total QBR exactly? According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses faced.”

OK, we’re game.

So where are McCord and Big Ten gunslingers such as J.J. McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Maryland’s Taulia Tagovailoa and surprising newcomer, Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 6 of the college football season? This thing still looks like it’s a heat between two archrival schools — with one pulling away — but there’s still a little more than half of the season still to go.

Here’s how things stack up after another week of an already wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR rating through Week 1

We rank the Big Ten quarterbacks by total QBR after Week 1. You might be surprised by which player is on top.

College football is a quarterback-driven game and has been for a long time now. Gone are the days of being a game manager with handoffs and short passes when needed. It hasn’t been that way for a long, long time now.

You simply can’t go special places anymore without having a dynamic player under center and Ohio State has a good one in C.J. Stroud.

However, he’s not the only good quarterback in the Big Ten. Though Stroud is one of the frontrunners for the Heisman Trophy, there are still other signal-callers in the league that can spin it when called upon.

One of the best metrics we like to look at when it comes to a quarterback’s performance is Total QBR, and we’re going to take a look at it each week upon the completion of games. Where is Stroud after this week? What about other quarterbacks in the league? You might be surprised, especially after OSU had some perceived struggles against Notre Dame.

Here’s a ranking of the top 12 Big Ten quarterbacks based on total QBR ranking this early in the season. Stats are courtesy of ESPN.
