College football future QB power rankings

It's time to dust off the crystal ball, because the future power rankings are back.

The FPR starts with the quarterback position and which programs are in the best shape for the next three college football seasons: 2017, 2018 and 2019. The rankings consider the current rosters, incoming recruits (either signed or committed), coaching and other factors.
