10. Will Rogers, Washington (Previous: 16)

Stats: 110-of-147, 1,354 yards, 10 TD, 0 INT; -12 rush yards

Rogers threw for 12,315 yards and 94 touchdowns in four years at Mississippi State, though he averaged just 6.6 yards per attempt while completing 69.3 percent of his throws. Those numbers have spiked to 9.2 yards per attempt and a 74.8 percent completion rate this year, and he had 306 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s loss to Rutgers.

9. John Mateer, Washington State (Previous: 6)

Stats: 89-of-153, 1,429 yards, 13 TD, 5 INT; 453 rush yards, 5 TD

Mateer had a tough time finding room to run against the Boise State defense on Saturday, finishing with 28 yards on 20 carries. He still ranks second among all quarterbacks and 22nd in the nation with 453 rushing yards, and he did throw for 327 yards and two touchdowns for his third 300-yard passing performance of the year in a 45-24 loss.

8. Cade Klubnik, Clemson (Previous: 8)

Stats: 73-of-110, 984 yards, 12 TD, 2 INT; 106 rush yards, 4 TD

Klubnik had a somewhat disappointing first season as Clemson’s starter last year, finishing with 2,844 yards, 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions, but he has taken a significant step forward this year. Since turning in a dud against Georgia in the season opener, he has thrown for 842 yards and 12 touchdowns during the team’s current three-game winning streak.

7. Eli Holstein, Pittsburgh (Previous: 7)

Stats: 87-of-129, 1,186 yards, 12 TD, 2 INT; 189 rush yards, 2 TD

Dylan Raiola and Nico Iamaleava are generating plenty of buzz, but Holstein is arguably the best freshman quarterback in the country this year. The Alabama transfer didn’t see the field during a redshirt season last year, but he has the Panthers off to a 4-0 start for the first time since 2000. A road matchup against North Carolina awaits this weekend coming off a bye.

6. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado (Previous: 11)

Stats: 138-of-197, 1,630 yards, 14 TD, 3 INT; 25 rush yards, 1 TD

Since losing to Nebraska in Week 2, Sanders has looked more like the dynamic passing threat who took the college football world by storm a year ago. In wins over Colorado State, Baylor and UCF, he has 941 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns, one interception and a rushing touchdown. The Buffaloes have a bye this weekend before facing No. 20 Kansas State in Week 7.
