We looked at running backs and receivers. Now on to quarterbacks.

Quarterbacks that averaged at least 20 passes per game in any season from 2003 to 2012 were included in this group. This narrows down the list to 903 seasons for us to analyze. I'll list the top 25 in each of the four QB rating categories, then the top 100 QB rating seasons in the past decade.

Before we dive in, though, I thought it would be interesting to see how these numbers change as players mature in their college careers. Here is every stat we'll look at today by classification over the past decade:

Class Count Comp% Y/Att TD/Att INT/Att Rating FR 82 59.2% 7.0 4.8% 3.2% 127.7 SO 222 60.1% 7.2 5.1% 2.9% 131.9 JR 298 60.6% 7.4 5.2% 2.8% 134.4 SR 301 61.5% 7.5 5.6% 2.7% 137.4

As you can see, the stats improve in every single category as QBs get older. Obviously there is some bias at work here, as poor QBs get weeded out over time. Still, it's interesting to see how significant the changes are over the years.

First up, let's look at completion percentage. These 25 passers had the highest percentages over the past ten years of college football. NCAA average among this group of 903 seasons: 60.7%

Next up, the top 25 QBs over the past decade in yards/attempt. NCAA average: 7.4.

Here are the top 25 QB seasons over the last decade in terms of TD% (TD / Attempt). NCAA average: 5.3%.

Last category in QB rating: INT% (INT / Attempt). NCAA Average: 2.8%.

And now for the big list: the top 100 QB seasons over the past decade in terms of QB rating. NCAA average: 134.3.
