Ranking college football quarterbacks: Bryce Young is No. 1 with C.J.Stroud is close behind

It'll take more than one quiet performance to move No. 3 Ohio State's C.J. Stroud down the list of the top quarterbacks in the Bowl Subdivision. Even if his numbers in last weekend's win against No. 9 Notre Dame rank among the least productive starts of his career, Stroud still threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns without an interception — totals that would be more than adequate for the wide majority of FBS passers.

But Stroud finds himself falling behind Alabama's Bryce Young after the first full Saturday of the 2022 season. Despite playing just one series in the second half, Young finished with five touchdowns and set a career high for rushing yards as the No. 1 Crimson Tide pitched a shutout against Utah State.
