Following an exciting Week 5 in the Southeastern Conference, I have plenty of movement in my updated SEC quarterback rankings.
For starters, Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett is no longer my top passer in the conference after another subpar showing. In fact, he’s not even my No. 2. That means Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, who is day-to-day after hurting his shoulder against Arkansas, moves up along with Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker.
Mississippi State’s Will Rogers rises after another big game. He ranks No. 3 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in passing yards and No. 1 in passing touchdowns. Kentucky’s Will Levis did himself no favors with a bad game against Ole Miss, and KJ Jefferson’s ranking took a hit after an inefficient outing against ‘Bama.
