Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by PFF grades after wild Week 7

It was about as wild of a week of college football as there's been, but the big upsets were relegated to games outside of the Big Ten. Otherwise, the teams in play mostly held serve par to expectations.

There was the marquee matchup of Ohio State at Indiana, but Washington played Purdue, Wisconsin played at UCLA, Northwestern went to MSU, Rutgers won at Maryland, Oregon barely beat Nebraska at home, and Michigan ousted Penn State after making a quarterback change.

Of course, multiple teams played two quarterbacks, though none of them did so due to it being a garbage time situation. Oregon had initially started Brock Thomas, but after he struggled mightily, Dylan Raiola was called upon to come in and beat his former team. Julian Sayin, who struggled against Indiana, ceded to Luke Fahey after going out with an injury that's expected to sideline him for at least a few weeks.

And Michigan moved on from Bryce Underwood and brought in true freshman Tommy Carr against Penn State, and the offense was revitalized as a result.

Looking specifically at Week 7, here is how each Big Ten quarterback ranked against each other according to their PFF offensive rankings.
