Pac-12 quarterback power rankings: Does Shedeur Sanders crack the top tier?
By Josh Yourish
Where does Shedeur Sanders fall in the Pac-12 quarterback rankings after Week 10?
The Pac-12 had a quarterback showdown in Week 10 that turned into more of a showcase of two of the best offenses in the country. Michael Penix Jr. and Washington already got the best of Bo Nix and Oregon earlier in the year and Saturday the Huskies took down Caleb Williams and USC.
It will be hard to keep Penix out of the top spot in the Pac-12 QB rankings, but the potential No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft is also in a conference that is loaded with great quarterbacks. In fact, the conference has four of the top 11 quarterbacks by QBR this season.
Despite a 4-5 record, the Colorado Buffaloes have one of the best in the conference and the country in Shedeur Sanders. Let’s see where Sanders slots in the Pac-12 QB power rankings.
Pac-12 QB rankings No. 12: Trenton Bourguet
- Passing yards: 1,195
- TD: 1 INT: 3
- Comp: 63.3%
- YPA: 6.8
Jaden Rashada is the eventual answer in Tempe for the Sun Devils, but he, like every other quarterback on this roster, has dealt with injuries. Bourguet has taken the most snaps of the five quarterbacks and is the only one over 1,000 yards on the season.
In total the five QBs, Bourguet, Rashada, Drew Pyne, Jacob Conover, and Cameron Skattebo, have thrown for 2,061 yards and six touchdowns to 11 interceptions while completing 56.2% of their collective passes.
At 2-7, Arizona State is in a very bad place buried at the bottom of the Pac-12, but at least Rashada is there to take over as a sophomore in the Big 12 next year.
