LSU at the top: The Tigers have the best quarterback room in the nation, thanks in large part to Heisman Trophy candidate Garrett Nussmeier.

Alabama and Ohio State’s rooms have immense potential: Neither the Crimson Tide nor the Buckeyes has any starting experience at quarterback, but they each have rooms with multiple former five-star recruits.

1. LSU The Tigers have a top-five quarterback in the country and a legitimate Heisman candidate leading them in Garrett Nussmeier. He threw for the fifth-most passing yards in the nation last year (4,043) while tying for seventh in big-time throws (26). Behind him is Mississippi State-transfer Michael Van Buren Jr., who showed encouraging signs during eight starts in his true freshman year. His first two came on the road against a couple elite defenses in Texas and Georgia, and he responded with a 79.0 passing grade with five big-time throws and no turnover-worthy plays in those contests. LSU also has a couple former four-star recruits in the room as well in sophomore Ju’Juan Johnson and redshirt freshman Colin Hurley.
