| 0:00.0 | Welcome in to another episode of the PFF College Football Show, Max Chadwick, alongside Dalton Wasserman, pausing our NFL draft rankings for you guys, because what we're |
| 0:22.3 | going to do right now is predict the starting quarterback for every single one of the 68 |
| 0:30.2 | power for schools. It's actually a series I did on pff.com with articles. And I kind of thought about it |
| 0:36.7 | for a second. I was like, listen, there are some schools where I don't even know who they're going to start at quarterbacks. So I kind of want to break it down for everyone what these schools have at quarterback. Because as we know, in today's day and age of the NIL and the transfer portal, it is so hard to keep track of which players are playing for which schools, especially at quarterback, where the carousel is |
| 0:55.0 | really exciting at that position. So there's a lot of brand new starters. In fact, out of these |
| 0:59.7 | 68 schools, there are only 30 that are returning starters for next year. So there are 30, at least |
| 1:06.6 | 38 right now, new starting quarterbacks in the Power four. And of those 38, 34 are transfers as well. |
| 1:15.6 | So I think this video will kind of help out a lot of people just know who is playing for where in |
| 1:19.4 | 2026. It's always the first question that anybody asks about any team, right? Well, who's their |
| 1:23.4 | quarterback, right? And how good can their offense be with that guy? Well, you mentioned at the age |
| 1:28.4 | of the transfer portal and teams seemingly turning their fortunes around at times by just getting |
| 1:32.9 | one big name quarterback or even a quarterback you might not have expected to turn them around. |
| 1:36.8 | That really is the big news of the transfer portal cycle. First and foremost is who's everybody's |
| 1:41.4 | starting quarterback and then how do they build the supporting cast from there. But there's a lot of really fun names that were on the move for sure and certainly a lot of fun amongst those 30 that you mentioned that are returning starters as well. Absolutely. Yeah. Like I say like five years ago, usually the new starting quarterback for each school would be a backup quarterback that's been there for a few years. Like I said before, there's only four schools in the power 4 where I project a backup to be the new starter for them next year. It's a brand new age of college |
| 2:05.4 | football that we have right now. Before we dive into all these players and break down a lot of stats |
| 2:09.6 | for all of these players. I want to remind you guys right now that PFF Plus is available for 25% |
| 2:15.1 | off right now when you use the promo code PFF CFB 25. |
| 2:18.3 | So if you want to get stats on every single one of these 68 power four starting quarterbacks, |
| 2:23.3 | there's available to you guys right now. |
| 2:25.3 | The same stats that every NFL team uses, that every college football team uses. |
| 2:29.3 | We actually just saw Dalton, some GMs were talking about before. |
| 2:32.3 | The PFF mock draft simulator is the number one mock draft simulator that every NFL |
