10. Carson Beck, Georgia (Previous: 8)
Stats: 56-of-82, 680 yards, 7 TD, 0 INT; 55 rush yards
After throwing for 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns last season, Beck entered the year as one of the most hyped quarterbacks in the country leading a Georgia squad that was among the favorites to win the national title. The Bulldogs were on a bye in Week 4, but they are back in action in a big way against Alabama this weekend.
9. Drew Allar, Penn State (Previous: 17)
Stats: 41-of-58, 729 yards, 8 TD, 1 INT; 77 rush yards, 2 TD
Allar logged the second 300-yard passing game of his career last weekend against Kent State, connecting on 17 of 21 pass attempts for 309 yards and three touchdowns in a 56-0 blowout victory. His 12.6 yards per attempt are tops in the Big Ten and rank second only to Ole Miss star Jaxson Dart (13.1) among qualified FBS quarterbacks.
8. Cade Klubnik, Clemson (Previous: 14)
Stats: 58-of-79, 729 yards, 8 TD, 1 INT; 58 rush yards, 3 TD
After a lackluster first season as Clemson’s starting quarterback last year, Klubnik has looked much better through three games this season, making major strides with his completion percentage (63.9% to 73.4%) and yards per attempt (6.3 to 9.2). He has thrown eight touchdown passes in two games since the Tigers season-opening loss to Georgia while adding another three scores on the ground.
7. Eli Holstein, Pittsburgh (Previous: 19)
Stats: 87-of-129, 1,186 yards, 12 TD, 2 INT; 189 rush yards, 2 TD
A 4-star recruit who started his college career at Alabama before transferring to Pitt during the offseason, Holstein has the Panthers off to a 4-0 start following a 3-9 finish a year ago amid a shaky quarterback situation. He had 247 passing yards, 93 rushing yards and five total touchdowns in a 73-17 dismantling of Youngstown State on Saturday, and now he gets a bye week this weekend.
6. John Mateer, Washington State (Previous: 5)
Stats: 63-of-116, 1,102 yards, 11 TD, 4 INT; 425 rush yards, 5 TD
Following a big win over Washington in the Apple Cup, Mateer and the Cougars improved to 4-0 with a 54-52 double-overtime win against San Jose State on Saturday. He again made a major impact with his arm (390 yards, 4 TD) and his legs (111 yards, 1 TD), and while he also threw a pair of interceptions, he did enough to get the win. His 425 rushing yards lead all quarterbacks and rank 14th overall in the nation.
