Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR at end of the regular season

How did Big Ten quarterbacks rank against each other at the end of the regular season in Total QBR? #B1G

Well, if you can believe it, the curtain has come down on the 2023 college football regular season. We have just the conference championship games and bowl season, including the College Football Playoff.

A total of 13 weeks have flown by and and we have a almost a whole season’s worth of data points and performances on Big Ten quarterbacks to see who did the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who threw for a decent number of yards, but had two costly interceptions that went a long way toward the Buckeyes falling to Michigan for the third straight year.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another. In fact, we’ve done it every week so far this year.

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, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers at the conclusion of the college football regular season? Believe it or not, McCord closed the gap on McCarthy as the season wore on, but how close did he come to taking that top spot?

Here’s how the order stacks up with Big Ten Total QBR as we head into conference championship week across this great nation of ours.

The sands in the hourglass are starting to run out of the 2023 college football season. There’s just a couple of regular seasons left, the conference championships, then bowl season complete with the College Football Playoff.

We are now 11 weeks in and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who probably had his best work of the 2023 campaign against Michigan State in a game that was pretty much over at halftime.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another.

McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 11 of the college football season? It’ll still be hard to close the gap entirely at the top, but the OSU gunslinger did move closer to No. 1.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Can anyone catch the guy on top of the Total QBR rankings? #B1G

The college football season continues to swiftly move along with just a few weeks left in the regular season.

Believe it or not, we are now 10 full weeks in, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who had a bit of an up and down performance on the road vs. Rutgers despite the win in a come from behind second-half effort.

McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 10 of the college football season? It’s now becoming increasingly clear that one guy is separating from the pack with another the clear No. 2. And with only three games left in the regular season, it’s going to be awfully hard to reel in either.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 9: One player separates at the top.

Who’s on top of the Big Ten Total QBR rankings after Week 9? Was there any movement with Kyle McCord and his fellow conference brethren? #B1G

The college football season continues to swiftly move along with just a few weeks left in the regular season.

Believe it or not, we are now nine full weeks in, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who probably had his worst performance of the year at Wisconsin throwing two picks and losing a fumble, but he still did enough to notch another victory for his Buckeye brothers.

The college football season continues to swiftly move along.

Believe it or not, we are eight full weeks into the regular season, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position.

McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 8 of the college football season? This rating still looks like a heat between two archrival schools — with one keeping the other at arm’s length as the sands of the hourglass continue to run out. But there’s still almost half of the season to go and a great many important and competitive matchups down the road.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.
