1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. Dante Moore is ranked No. 1 in CBS Sports' ranking of the 2026 Top 50 QBs.https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-qb-power-rankings-dante-moore-oregon/Someone at CBS Sports must have noticed that No. 2 Golden Archie Manning finished 38th in the 2025 QBR rankings. Auburn WR Cam Coleman transferred to UT and has been proclaimed as 2026's top transfer. In 12 games last season, Coleman had a drop rate of 6.7%. In 14 games last season and with more throws targeted in his direction, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith finished with a drop rate of 1.8%.Other Big Ten QBs in the top 50 and when Oregon will play against them if their team is on the 2026 schedule.No. 5 Julian Sayin - Week 10 in ColumbusThe 2025 Heisman Award finalist who finished 2nd in 2025 QB Ratings is ranked behind Miami's Darien Mensah?Dante is No. 1, in part, because of his receiving corps. Ohio State doesn't have a good receiving corps? I'll give you Baby J and match him against Jeremiah.But unlike Sayin, Mensah will not play against six teams ranked in the preseason Top-25.---No. 7 Jayden Maiava - Week 4 in LA.In front of 54,00 fans (🤪), Maiava got off to a good start against a bad opponent. ---No. 8 Josh Hoover - Indiana - Hoover enters 2026 with the most career passing yards in CFB.---No. 17 Demond Williams - Washington - Week 13 - Autzen StadiumWhy is a QB who put up over 3500 yards of offense in 2025 ranked this low?---No. 24 Bryce Underwood - Michigan - Week 12 - Autzen Stadium One of 2026's BIG questions: Under the leadership of a functional, post-puberty coaching staff, including OC Jason Beck, how much will Bryce improve?Michigan has a tough schedule, but if the offense improves, eight home games give Michigan a chance to finish 10-2 and make the 2026 PO field.---No. 25 Rocco Becht - Penn StateComing into 2026, Rocco's 26 career victories are the most in CFB.---No. 26 Anthony Colandrea - Nebraska - Week 7 - Autzen StadiumWill the 2025 Mountain West Player of the Year have similar success in the Power 2? ---No. 27 Katin Houser - Illinois - Week 8 - Champaign-Urbana, IllinoisIn 2025, Houser led East Carolina to a 9-4 record with a bowl win over ACC Pitt. ---No. 31 Malik Washington - MarylandConsidering the support, or lack thereof, that Washington received from his teammates in 2025, the true freshman and now sophomore had a very good season.---No. 35 Nico Iamaleava - UCLA - Week 6 - Autzen StadiumIn 2026, with a better surrounding cast from Bob Chesney on down, I think Nico will perform better than this ranking, and UCLA will finish 8-4 or 9-3.---No. 36 Drake Lindsey - Minnesota Another B1G QB who is ranked too low. The deeper conference? Interesting test when Mississippi State visits in Week 2.---No. 41 Colton Joseph - Wisconsin The Badgers open the season against No. 4 Notre Dame and No. 6-ranked QB CJ Carr. Joseph and Wisconsin will have a chance to prove themselves against the toughest Week 1 opponent a Big Ten team plays.---Also on the schedule:No. 15 Drew Mestemaker - Oklahoma State - Week 2 - Stillwater, OklahomaThe waters will be anything but still in the Cowboys' home opener when Oregon comes to town. 2025's FBS leading passer Mestemaker is joined by 18 North Texas teammates who followed coach Eric Morris to OK State.---And a HUH? for:No. 19 Keelon Russell - Alabama - Russell has never started a game for Alabama.No. 30 Lincoln Kienholz - Louisville - Like Russell, Ohio State transfer Kienholz has never started a game.No. 24 Louisville opens the season vs No. 9 Mississippi and No. 3-ranked QB Trinidad Chambliss this Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee. If anything, Trinidad, the best dual-threat QB in CFB, may be ranked too low. BEAT BOISE!
