There is almost a direct relationship between ESPN’s total quarterback rating and a team’s success. Several perennial powers are playing low-ranked quarterbacks, with below average results – Michigan, Florida, Penn State, LSU, Virginia Tech, Missouri.
Total QB Rating should be considered when picking games. Will the Egg Bowl be won by the 5th ranked QB (Dak Prescott) or the 20th (Bo Wallace)? With second-ranked Deshaun Watson out for at least a month, Clemson may struggle to beat weak teams with 110th ranked Cole Stoudt under center.
