The college football landscape is buzzing with excitement as CBS Sports unveils its updated quarterback rankings after a thrilling Week 7. But who's rising and who's falling in this week's power rankings?
Alabama's Ty Simpson takes the top spot, solidifying his Heisman Trophy campaign with a string of impressive performances. His resilience after a rough start to the season has been remarkable, leading Alabama to five straight wins and dominating ranked opponents. But here's where it gets controversial: is Simpson's success solely due to his individual talent, or does Alabama's strong supporting cast play a bigger role?
Indiana's Fernando Mendoza climbs to the second position, defying preseason expectations. The Hoosiers' win over Oregon catapulted them into the AP Poll's top 3, and Mendoza's leadership is undeniable. His efficient passing game and clutch performances have him projected as a top NFL draft pick.
Georgia Tech's veteran Haynes King is making a statement in his sixth year. The Yellow Jackets are undefeated, and King's dual-threat abilities are on full display. With a favorable schedule ahead, could King lead his team to an undefeated season?
USC's Jayden Maiava is a rising star, thriving under the guidance of coach Lincoln Riley. His passing numbers are elite, and he's formed a dynamic duo with wide receiver Makai Lemon. But is this success sustainable, or will Maiava's performance drop against tougher competition?
Ohio State's Julian Sayin maintains his dominance, leading the top-ranked Buckeyes. His connection with superstar receiver Jeremiah Smith is a force to be reckoned with. But can Sayin keep up this level of play without facing ranked opponents for the rest of the season?
USF's Byrum Brown is the surprise of the season, leading his team to a 5-1 record. His dual-threat capabilities make him a threat on every play. But can he maintain this level of play against stronger opponents?
Washington's Demond Williams Jr. is a young sensation, showcasing his talent with stellar passing and rushing numbers. His performance against Rutgers was a highlight reel, but can he consistently deliver against top-tier defenses?
Notre Dame's CJ Carr has bounced back from a rough start, leading the Irish to four straight wins. His arm strength and accuracy have been on full display. But can he maintain this momentum against a tough USC team?
Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby has recovered from a poor start, leading the Bearcats to a 4-2 record. His accuracy and decision-making have improved, but can he keep up this performance in a competitive Big 12?
Baylor's Sawyer Robertson rounds out the top 10, leading the Bears with impressive passing numbers. But will his performance be enough to secure the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year award?
