Top 10 college football quarterbacks after Week 10

The 2023 college football season is through 10 weeks, and with just three more weeks of the regular season remaining, some quarterbacks have stood out above the rest.

Entering this season, Caleb Williams was hailed as the best quarterback in college football, as he was the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. But through 10 weeks, other quarterbacks have been better.

Let's take a look at the top 10 quarterbacks after Week 10.


Top 10 college football quarterbacks after Week 10

#1, Michael Penix Jr. - Washington

Michael Penix is the best quarterback in college football and is the favorite to win the Heisman.

Penix has led Washington to a 9-0 record and will likely play in the Pac-12 championship game, with the College Football Playoff spot a definite possibility.

Penix is 225 for 324 for 3,201 yards, 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season.

#2, Bo Nix - Oregon

Nix is 235 for 301 for 2,723 yards, 25 touchdowns and two interceptions.

#3, Jayden Daniels - LSU

Jayden Daniels won't be in the Heisman conversation because the LSU Tigers are 6-3, but that is not because of the quarterback's play.

Daniels is 178 for 247 for 2,792 yards, 27 touchdowns and two interceptions. In his final college season, he's playing the best football of his career.

#4, Jalen Milroe - Alabama
