Brennan Makes Move in QB Rankings
Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan is making his second consecutive late-season surge in the Rivals.com College Football Power Rankings.
Brennan gradually moved up the charts last season before finally emerging as the No. 1 quarterback in the postseason rankings this year. He moved into the No. 2 spot in the quarterback rankings this week after helping the Warriors cap an undefeated regular season with a 38-31 victory over Washington.
The power rankings measure the nation's top players and coaches at each position. Brennan still trails Heisman Trophy contender Tim Tebow of Florida in the quarterback rankings.
Brennan went 42-of-50 for 442 yards with five touchdown passes and no interceptions Saturday as Hawaii rallied from a 21-0 deficit to beat Washington. He has thrown for 4,174 yards and 38 touchdowns this season while also rushing for eight touchdowns. Brennan also has an NCAA-record 131 career touchdown passes.
There were no changes atop the power rankings this week. Missouri's Dave Christensen remained the top offensive coordinator after a 38-17 loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Game, which marked the first time this season the Tigers didn't score at least 31 points.
Other players and coaches remaining atop the power rankings were Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree, Michigan offensive lineman Jake Long, Wisconsin tight end Travis Beckum, LSU defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey, Penn State linebacker Dan Connor, Arizona defensive back Antoine Cason, Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel and Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Heathingy.
The rating of a player and coach can fluctuate each week during the season depending on how they fared the previous week, but the power rankings measure overall career performances as well as their most recent results.
By the end of the season, our power rankings should provide an accurate indicator of which players and coaches were the best at their respective positions.
