"Well, #1 has to be Stroud, right?"
"Yeah, and did you see Smith-Njigba in the Rose Bowl?"
"Did you see his stats ALL YEAR?"
"Right - he's a lock at #2."
"Okay... so who's #3?"
"Um... Well Ohio State's defense is going to get better.. no way to be worse, right?"
"Yeah, well this is a top 10 list of all Big Ten. We can't have any more Ohio State players."
"No more?"
"Nope. I mean, we really shouldn't have 2. But these 2 can't be off any list like this."
"Ugh. Who else is going to be good in the Big Ten?"
"No idea."

"Fuck this - just list some names (maybe check to see if they were starters last year, and make sure they're coming back this year)."

Ranking all 131 college football quarterback situations in tiers

i


In December, Bryce Young won the Heisman Trophy. He'll be back at Alabama this college football season with a good chance to win another.

At the Rose Bowl, C.J. Stroud -- playing without two future first-round NFL draft picks at receiver -- threw for 573 yards and six touchdowns, setting himself up as the presumptive favorite to knock Young off the Heisman throne.

In January, a former walk-on quarterback led Georgia to a national championship, and as a result, we are now obligated to spend the next year asking the age-old question: Is Stetson Bennett elite?

In February, Caleb Williams announced that he'd follow his former Oklahoma coach, Lincoln Riley, to USC, giving the Pac-12 something to be excited about for the first time since the George W. Bush administration.

This year's quarterback class should be a deep, talented and ridiculously fun crop. But why stop at just the top tier of QBs? We're sifting through all 131 quarterback situations (plus a few more, for good measure) in what is the definitive, no doubt about it, inarguable ranking of talent that will undoubtedly prove 100% accurate at year's end.

Tier 1: Heisman or bust (three players)
Ohio State's C.J. Stroud
USC's Caleb Williams
Alabama's Bryce Young

Barring something catastrophic, it's fair to say these three can safely book their flights to New York for the Heisman ceremony now. Young could become just the second player in history to win a second Heisman after taking home the hardware last year. Stroud was a finalist in 2021, and had Williams been Oklahoma's starter from Week 1, he might have been there, too. Williams got his first start in Week 7, and from that point on, these three combined for an 89.3 Total QBR with 90 total touchdowns and just 15 turnovers.

Tier 3: Pretty ... pretty good (eight players)
Purdue's Aidan O'Connell

Tier 7: You might not have noticed, but they're pretty good (five players, four jobs)
Michigan's Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy
Michigan State's Payton Thorne
Maryland's Taulia Tagovailoa

Tier 9: Veterans with moxie (seven players, six jobs)
Penn State's Sean Clifford
Minnesota's Tanner Morgan

Tier 11: Maybe this is the year they put it all together (five players, four jobs)
Wisconsin's Graham Mertz

Tier 13: So you're saying there's a chance (17 players, eight jobs)
Indiana's Connor Bazelak, Jack Tuttle and Donoven McCulley

Tier 14: Is there a diamond in the rough? (nine players, four jobs)
Nebraska's Casey Thompson, Logan Smothers and Chubba Purdy

Tier 15: This is fine dot gif (eight players, five jobs)
Iowa's Spencer Petras and Alex Padilla

Tier 18: Technically, they're Power 5 QBs (six players, four jobs)
Northwestern's Ryan Hilinski
Illinois' Tommy DeVito and Artur Sitkowski
Rutgers' Noah Vedral and Gavin Wimsatt

We all know CJ is the "cream of the crop" of B1G QBs this season; however, Purdue's Aidan O'Conner is ranked as the B1G #2 QB, take that scUM (Cade McNamara/J.J. McCarthy) and Ped State (Clifford). In reality Kyle McCord could very easily be the 2nd best QB in the B1G too...:slappy:

QB1 has a sweet new ride.

C.J. Stroud has made some excellent use of his NIL and will now be driving a brand new Bentley Bentayga, valued at $150,000, as part of a partnership with Sarchione Auto Gallery in Canton.

As part of the deal, Stroud will promote the auto dealership on social media and make public appearances at its gallery, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

According to The Dispatch, Stroud received offers from other car dealerships but was interested in this one after seeing former teammate Chris Olave driving a BMW X7 ahead of the NFL draft as part of a similar partnership. So he had his agency reach out, and they worked out a deal.

“If somebody is that adamant about it, and they’re going to be a Heisman frontrunner, top-10 pick in the draft, we're interested,” Sarchione Auto Gallery general manager Ryan Burton told The Dispatch. “That's how it all came together.”

Just sayin': He should change his number from 7 to 007.

James Bond drove several different Bentleys throughout the fourteen original novels by Ian Fleming, the first of which was the 1930 4.5 litre Bentley convertible (Casino Royale, Live And Let Die). Later in the novel Thunderball he acquired a wreck of Mark II Continental Bentley, restored it and customised it, and called it "The Locomotive". Bond's appreciation of the finer things in life was a reflection of his creator's own tastes, especially when it came to magnificent automobiles.

Good for CJ, what a strange world we live in though. Buckeye QB just signed a deal with Bentley. And not LeCharles.
