The most popular personnel question surrounding college football every offseason centers on quarterbacks — who's coming back, who is being replaced and which first-year players have a shot at immediate stardom? The 2020 season was always going to be Trevor Lawrence's expected swan song as he potentially exits Clemson with a Heisman and his second national title ring.

Then, Justin Fields happened. Glance at any preseason quarterback ranking and you're going to see these two superstars in the top two spots. And depending on the day, there's some fluctuation possible between the two. In fact, the film gurus at Pro Football Focus recently slotted Fields ahead of Lawrence in next year's NFL Draft due to higher grades in "pro-like situations" last season.

But if you asked either player, they'd tell you the only difference is Lawrence won head to head in the College Football Playoff as Clemson handed Ohio State its only loss of the season. The idea of a rematch later this fall is salivating is stellar quarterback play is your thing.

Like most preseason projections, Top 25 ranking of college football's top returning signal callers is subjective and won't likely reflect your own. Some of the picks are obvious, while others should put up impressive numbers based on expected development and the talent surrounding them.
