So do several other QB's ranked below him. Including last year's Heisman trophy winner.

They're ranked by passing efficiency for this season. It's not a subjective ranking.

I see.

A subjective review would be more interesting. Incorporating wins, losses, come-from-behind victories and the such...

I suppose your opinion of this is skewed by the fact your QB is rated lower and you of course think he's better than the others?

No, not really. I just don't think Freeman that good.

This doesn't even account for the fact that many of these guys are threats to hurt you running it also. Robinson, McCoy, Daniel, Reesing, Freeman and Griffin can all take off and run the ball.

Not to mention, A&M's QB put up 450+ yards of total offense against KSU this week, so I know he has to be in that top 10 somewhere.

based on what?

2008 season, 6 games

111 completions on 169 attempts (65.7%)
12 touchdowns and 2 interceptions
1,509 yards (251.5 per game)
8.93 yards per attempt
13.59 yards per completion

47 carries for 221 yards (net of sack yardage lost)
12 touchdowns
4.70 yards per attempt

He is #2 in the nation in all positions in scoring.

I think if Freeman comes out this year he would be a Top 10 pick potentially depending on how he performs in the combine. His team sucks, and he's looking like a Stallion right now.

A (not so) quick run of the numbers yielded these results. I did it all by hand, so hopefully my math is good.

I assigned points to the following categories with regards to the Big 12 QB's COMPARED to each other in the conference: Come from behind victories, wins/losses, passing yards, interceptions, and completion percentage.

If a QB was a 1 in conference he got 12 points and so on down to one.

If there was a tie, both(or more) were added up and averaged.

I'm going to post the school name instead of the QB.

1. Texas
2. KU
3. MU
4(tie). TTU
4.(tie). OSU
6. OU
7. KSU
8. Baylor
9. Nebraska
10.ISU
11.TAMU
12.Colorado

When I looked at the numbers again, I figured that the come from behind victory category gave a substantial bump to 4 QB's. There have been only 4 comeback victories this year for Big 12 schools(I classified coming back as being down by any margin at anytime in the second half). Thus it gave 4 QB's an extra six points compared to the other 8. When the total of the leader Texas' QB was only 50 points, that's a large bump for a relatively benign stat. Taking out that category, the results changed slightly.

1. Texas
2. Mizzou
3. KU
4. TTU
5. OSU
6. OU
7. KSU
8. Baylor
9. Nebraska
10. ISU
11. TAMU
12. Colorado
