23. SMU: SHANE BUECHELE
Buechele has clearly shown why he was once a member of the Texas Longhorns in his first season with the Mustangs. He’s thrown the country’s fourth-most big-time throws at 14 and even though he’s thrown 10 turnover-worthy passes, he’s been able to get away with just five interceptions as he pushes the ball down the field with relative ease. He’s already finished a game with an elite grade for the first time in his career and capped an improbable come-from-behind victory against Tulsa in triple overtime with perhaps one of the better throws (and catches, we see you James Proche) into the corner of the end zone to the far side of the field where only Proche could get it. He has SMU sitting at 6-0 and in great shape to contend for the AAC Championship this year.

Also, looking through the rankings, we don't seem to play any great QB's rest of the year, so that's good.

And since I know everyone is going to ask

78. ARKANSAS: BEN HICKS
Moving up from their preseason ranking, Hicks and the Razorbacks were a play away from upsetting Texas A&M as Hicks had one of his highest-graded games of his career. With Nick Starkel exiting with injury against the Aggies, Hicks is actually the higher-graded player of the duo so it seems the decision to start Hicks has been made for head coach Chad Morris, a decision the PFF grades agree with.
