Using Pro Football Focus grades, stats and some projection, here's a look at the NFL potential of the starting quarterbacks in every bowl game.
Although many of the signal-callers are not yet draft-eligible, several already have shown areas for optimism and others areas for concern, and it's never too early to look ahead to the prospects in future classes (data available for FBS quarterbacks only):
1. Trevor Lawrence, Clemson (Fr., 6-5, 205)
The next big thing at the quarterback position, Lawrence has transformed the Clemson passing attack with his strong arm and impressive decision-making. He has the nation's lowest percentage of turnover-worthy plays at 1.2 percent, an incredible number for a true freshman, especially given his ability to stretch the field with his big arm. Lawrence will be eligible for the 2021 draft.
Bowl matchup: vs. Notre Dame, 4 p.m. ET Dec. 29, College Football Playoff semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, ESPN
2. Justin Herbert, Oregon (Jr., 6-6, 233)
Herbert has all of the tools to be the top quarterback off the board next April, including an excellent arm that he can use to stretch the field. He ranked 19th in deep passing yards with 914 despite nine dropped passes on his 20-plus-yard throws.
Bowl matchup: vs. Michigan State, 3 p.m. Dec. 31, Redbox Bowl, Fox
3. Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State (Soph., 6-3, 220)
Haskins revitalized the Ohio State passing game with an NFL arm and accuracy. He was outstanding from a clean pocket (135.2. passer rating, fourth in the FBS), which is a good sign for NFL performance, though he must improve his work under pressure, where his PFF grade dropped from 91.5 to 60.5 this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Washington, 5 p.m. Jan. 1, Rose Bowl Game Presented by Northwestern Mutual, ESPN
4. Kyler Murray, Oklahoma (Jr., 5-10, 195)
It's unfortunate that we may never get to see Murray get a shot in the NFL due to his baseball career because he would have a chance to buck any biases toward taller quarterbacks with his 5-foot-10 frame. He doesn't fit the NFL prototype, but his ability to throw accurately and run the ball led to the top overall PFF grade this season, and he posted a 144.6 passer rating on non-play-action passes, a great indicator of next-level success.
Bowl matchup: vs. Alabama, 8 p.m. Dec. 29, College Football Playoff semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl, ESPN
5. K.J. Costello, Stanford (Jr., 6-5, 215)
Costello has made the most of a simple system at Stanford, showing off the arm to get the ball down the field, finishing fifth in both deep passing yards (1,287) and deep passer rating (128.5) this season. He may not be coming out this April, but with a big 2019, he has a chance to be the top QB off the board in 2020.
Bowl matchup: vs. Pittsburgh, 2 p.m. Dec. 31, Hyundai Sun Bowl, CBS
6. Will Grier, West Virginia (Sr., 6-2, 223) (Out)
One of the most productive quarterbacks in the nation over the past two years, Grier has been excellent at the intermediate and deep level, leading to a nation-high 35 big-time throws this season. He's sitting out the bowl game to focus on his NFL prospects, and his accuracy and deep-ball touch make him a fringe first-round prospect in the upcoming draft. Grier's backup is Jack Allison, who has only thrown 10 career passes at the FBS level.
Bowl matchup: vs. Syracuse, 5:15 p.m. Dec. 28, Camping World Bowl, ESPN
7. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama (Soph., 6-1, 218)
Tagovailoa had one of the better college football seasons we've seen before a disastrous performance in the SEC championship game, as he showed the accuracy and natural passing ability to find the open man and stretch the defense. However, there are some concerns about his arm strength, which could hinder his ability to make tight-window throws at the next level.
Bowl matchup: vs. Oklahoma, 8 p.m. Dec. 29, College Football Playoff semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl, ESPN
Gardner Minshew goes deep down the middle to find Jamire Calvin, who brings it in and sets up Blake Mazza's go-ahead field goal.
8. Drew Lock, Missouri (Sr., 6-4, 225)
Lock has the arm that NFL scouts covet, and while he has improved every year at Missouri, his accuracy and decision-making have always been a tick behind. Lock can get the ball down the field, as he ranked 12th in passer rating on deep passes this season, but he must improve his ability to make plays outside of structure. A career-high PFF grade of only 85.3 should make teams wary of his first-round prospects.
Bowl matchup: vs. Oklahoma State, 3:45 p.m. Dec. 31, AutoZone Liberty Bowl, ESPN
9. Daniel Jones, Duke (Jr., 6-5, 220)
One of the nation's most improved players, Jones started to live up to the hype surrounding his big frame and athleticism. He showed excellent touch on the deep ball early in the season, but he finished just 80th in the nation in big-time throw percentage and 45th in overall percentage. His lack of down-to-down accuracy makes him more of a developmental prospect at this point.
Bowl matchup: vs. Temple, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 27, Walk-On's Independence Bowl, ESPN
10. Ryan Finley, NC State (Sr., 6-4, 212)
Finley has continued to improve during his time at NC State, but he has struggled to drive the ball outside the numbers against better competition (see the Clemson game). He's a good decision-maker and he'll avoid making big mistakes, but he projects as more of a backup at the next level.
Bowl matchup: vs. Texas A&M, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 31, TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, ESPN
11. Ian Book, Notre Dame (Jr., 6-0, 203)
Book has taken over the Notre Dame offense and led the Fighting Irish to the College Football Playoff with his accuracy to all levels of the field and solid arm. He has a good feel for extending plays as well, giving him key traits to make an impact at the NFL level.
Bowl matchup: vs. Clemson, 4 p.m. Dec. 29, College Football Playoff semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, ESPN
12. Brett Rypien, Boise State (Sr., 6-2, 202)
Rypien capped his four-year career with an 88.1 overall grade that ranked 13th in the nation. Like others on the list, his arm may hold him back from getting a chance as a starter, but accuracy, decision-making and the eighth-highest percentage of positively graded throws give him a chance to stick in the NFL.
Bowl matchup: vs. Boston College, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 26, SERVPRO First Responder Bowl, ESPN
13. Jordan Love, Utah State (Soph., 6-4, 225)
A timing-rhythm, athletic passer with every throw in the book, Love's progression will be monitored closely next season. He ranks seventh in the FBS with 14 deep passing touchdowns, though he struggles throwing on the move and must improve his consistency.
Bowl matchup: vs. North Texas, 2 p.m. Dec. 15, New Mexico Bowl Presented by Progressive, ESPN
14. Jarrett Stidham, Auburn (Jr., 6-3, 215)
Stidham has not progressed as scouts have hoped, though he does possess an NFL-caliber arm. He's inaccurate on a down-to-down basis and often too slow to diagnose plays in the pocket, while ranking only 107th in positively graded throws this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Purdue, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 28, Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, ESPN
15. Jake Fromm, Georgia (Soph., 6-2, 200)
Fromm doesn't throw with great velocity, but he has touch at the intermediate and deep levels and he's a sound decision-maker. He has the seventh-lowest percentage of negatively graded throws in the nation.
Bowl matchup: vs. Texas, 8:45 p.m. Jan. 1, Allstate Sugar Bowl, ESPN
16. Gardner Minshew, Washington State (Sr., 6-2, 220)
Minshew became a cult hero in Pullman, but most importantly, he added a downfield element to the Washington State passing attack that didn't exist under Luke Falk. Minshew ranked 11th in the nation with an adjusted completion percentage of 55.6 on deep passes, but questionable arm strength could limit his NFL potential.
Bowl matchup: vs. Iowa State, 9 p.m. Dec. 28, Valero Alamo Bowl, ESPN
17. Clayton Thorson, Northwestern (Sr., 6-4, 226)
Thorson looks the part from a size standpoint, but he lacks the arm to push the ball down the field consistently and ranked just 102nd in big-time throw percentage while showing questionable decision-making.
Bowl matchup: vs. Utah, 7 p.m. Dec. 31, San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl, FS1
18. Kellen Mond, Texas A&M (Soph., 6-2, 210)
There are NFL throws littered throughout Mond's tape, as he has a strong arm and one capable of making special throws while on the move; however, his accuracy and decision-making are lagging behind his natural tools. He ranks just 119th in the nation with an adjusted completion percentage of 66.3.
Bowl matchup: vs. NC State, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 31, TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, ESPN
19. Shea Patterson, Michigan (Jr., 6-2, 205)
Patterson had a solid season at Michigan, and while he ranked seventh in adjusted completion percentage on deep passes at 56.3 percent, he still has a tendency to play outside of structure more than you'd like to see for an NFL quarterback. Patterson's playmaking is intriguing, but it's more suited for a backup role at the next level.
Bowl matchup: vs. Florida, 12 p.m. Dec. 29, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, ESPN
20. McKenzie Milton, UCF (Jr. 5-11, 185) (Out)
Another shorter quarterback who could push the NFL's hand when it comes to its usual preferences, Milton wasn't as good as he was last season when he peppered the field with big-time throws despite his small stature. He does throw a few duds down the field and he wasn't nearly as accurate this season, but he still ranked eighth in the country in adjusted completion percentage on deep passes at 55.9. Backup: Darriel Mack Jr. has filled in admirably for Milton, including a monster AAC championship game. He has the arm to stretch the field in UCF's aggressive passing attack and he's added 345 yards on the ground on 52 carries.
Bowl matchup: vs. LSU, 1 p.m. Jan. 1, PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, ESPN
21. Manny Wilkins, Arizona State (Sr., 6-3, 200)
Wilkins has a fine arm to challenge the field to all levels, but he lacks the pocket awareness to be more than a developmental player at the next level. He ranks 26th in the nation in passer rating on deep passes this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Fresno State, 3:30 p.m. Dec. 15, Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl, ABC
22. Brock Purdy, Iowa State (Fr., 6-1, 202)
Only a true freshman, Purdy was excellent this season, finishing with the second-highest percentage of positively graded throws in the nation. He showed good ability to escape from the pocket and a good feel for throwing down the field, so he'll be one to watch in the coming years.
Bowl matchup: vs. Washington State, 9 p.m. Dec. 28, Valero Alamo Bowl, ESPN
23. Eric Dungey, Syracuse (Sr, 6-4, 226)
There's rarely a dull moment when watching Dungey, as he can make questionable decisions while also showing off the high-end plays. He ranks 17th in deep passing yards with 935 and is tied for 24th in big-time throw percentage. Look for Dungey to be in an NFL training camp.
Bowl matchup: vs. West Virginia, 5:15 p.m. Dec. 28, Camping World Bowl, ESPN
24. Tyree Jackson, Buffalo (Jr., 6-7, 245)
Jackson has a big arm that led to the second-most deep passing yards in the nation (1,381) and him ranking seventh in big-time throw percentage, but many of those big plays come outside the pocket and he's struggled to hang in and throw accurately from the pocket.
Bowl matchup: vs. Troy, 7 p.m. Dec. 22, Dollar General Bowl, ESPN
25. Mason Fine, North Texas (Jr., 5-11, 185)
Fine is yet another undersized quarterback with impressive tools, as he can make NFL-type throws with accuracy to all levels of the field, leading to the No. 2 adjusted completion percentage of 79.9. He may not get an NFL opportunity due to his short stature, but he's one of the nation's most exciting players and he ranks third in the nation with a PFF grade of 91.2.
Bowl matchup: vs. Utah State, 2 p.m. Dec. 15, New Mexico Bowl Presented by Progressive, ESPN
26. David Blough, Purdue (Sr., 6-1, 205)
Blough may warrant a look as a free agent because he's a fearless passer who can drive the ball up the seams and throw with touch down the field. He ranks 32nd in adjusted completion percentage at 74.0 this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Auburn, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 28, Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, ESPN
27. Taylor Cornelius, Oklahoma State (Sr., 6-6, 232)
There have been flashes for Cornelius, showing a good arm and ability to extend plays, but he had far too many off games and he has the 16th-highest percentage of negatively graded throws in the nation.
Bowl matchup: vs. Missouri, 3:45 p.m. Dec. 31, AutoZone Liberty Bowl, ESPN
28. Sam Ehlinger, Texas (Soph., 6-3, 235)
The best Texas quarterback since Colt McCoy, Ehlinger has done a good job of getting the ball to his playmakers down the field, but his arm is limited. He has the sixth-lowest percentage of turnover-worthy plays, but he must improve his arm and natural passing feel to get into an NFL camp.
Bowl matchup: vs. Georgia, 8:45 p.m. Jan. 1, Allstate Sugar Bowl, ESPN
29. Trace McSorley, Penn State (Sr., 6-0, 201)
Doing his best work as a runner this season, McSorley lacks consistency throwing from the pocket and ranks 74th at avoiding negatively graded throws and just 97th in adjusted completion percentage (68.8) this year.
Bowl matchup: vs. Kentucky, 1 p.m. Jan. 1, VRBO Citrus Bowl, ABC
30. Jake Browning, Washington (Sr., 6-2, 210)
Browning's grades have gone down since a strong true freshman season back in 2015, and his below-average arm will hinder his next-level prospects. He had more turnover-worthy throws than big-time throws (21 to 12), a massive concern given that ratio is generally reversed.
Bowl matchup: vs. Ohio State, 5 p.m. Jan. 1, Rose Bowl Game Presented by Northwestern Mutual, ESPN
31. Jake Bentley, South Carolina (Jr., 6-4, 224)
The flashes have been brilliant for Bentley throughout his career, but accuracy and decision-making have been inconsistent, leading to him ranking 59th at avoiding turnover-worthy plays this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Virginia, 12 p.m. Dec. 29, Belk Bowl, ABC
32. Kyle Shurmur, Vanderbilt (Sr., 6-4, 225)
Shurmur has a chance to find himself in an NFL training camp next summer, as he's willing to stand in and make the necessary throws, but him ranking just 96th in big-time throw percentage shows his limited potential.
Bowl matchup: vs. Baylor, 9 p.m. Dec. 27, Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl, ESPN
33. J'Mar Smith, Louisiana Tech (Jr., 6-1, 226)
Smith has the arm to drive the ball down the field, but he had six games with below-average PFF grades that show how far he has to go.
Bowl matchup: vs. Hawaii, 10:30 p.m. Dec. 22, SoFi Hawaii Bowl, ESPN
34. Charlie Brewer, Baylor (Soph., 6-1, 202)
Brewer can make plays inside and outside the pocket and he ranks 27th in the nation with an adjusted completion percentage of 74.6. He has a solid arm but ranks just 66th in big-time throw percentage this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Vanderbilt, 9 p.m. Dec. 27, Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl, ESPN
35. Nate Stanley, Iowa (Jr., 6-4, 242)
Stanley has shown flashes during his time at Iowa, but his accuracy must improve, as he has the fifth-highest percentage of negatively graded throws and ranks 108th in adjusted completion percentage at 67.3.
Bowl matchup: vs. Mississippi State, 12 p.m. Jan. 1, Outback Bowl, ESPN2
36. Brady White, Memphis (Jr., 6-3, 205)
White plays with good timing and rhythm within the Memphis system, and he does his best work at the intermediate, including a passer rating of 126.0 off play-action, 11th in the nation. He has a limited arm and inconsistent accuracy down the field, where his adjusted completion percentage of 46.0 ranks 42nd this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Wake Forest, 12 p.m. Dec. 22, Jared Birmingham Bowl, ESPN
37. Justice Hansen, Arkansas State (Sr., 6-4, 224)
Limited by a lack of athleticism and movement in the pocket, Hansen lacks the ability to make plays out of structure, though he does rank 14th in adjusted completion percentage under pressure this season (67.7).
Bowl matchup: vs. Nevada, 1:15 p.m. Dec. 29, NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, CBSSN
38. Tyler Huntley, Utah (Jr., 6-1, 200) (Out)
A talented raw passer, Huntley has impressive high-end plays while ranking third at avoiding negatively graded throws. He ranks just 84th with an adjusted completion percentage of 38.7 on deep passes. Backup: Jason Shelley took over for Huntley down the stretch, though he struggled to a three-interception game against Washington in the Pac-12 championship.
Bowl matchup: vs. Northwestern, 7 p.m. Dec. 31, San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl, FS1
39. Feleipe Franks, Florida (Soph., 6-5, 227)
Franks has improved this season, but accuracy will always be an issue despite his good size and strong arm. He ranks 93rd in adjusted completion percentage at 68.9.
Bowl matchup: vs. Michigan, 12 p.m. Dec. 29, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, ESPN
40. Alex Hornibrook, Wisconsin (Jr., 6-4, 219)
Hornibrook's weak arm will always limit his potential, but he has a good feel for working the middle of the field, particularly at the intermediate level. This season, the lack of velocity caught up to him on a number of passes, as he ranked 111th at avoiding turnover-worthy throws.
Bowl matchup: vs. Miami, 5:15 p.m. Dec. 27, New Era Pinstripe Bowl, ESPN
41. Marcus McMaryion, Fresno State (Sr., 6-2, 203)
Another quarterback lacking the velocity for the NFL, McMaryion is a good decision-maker who had the third-lowest percentage of turnover-worthy plays and the lowest percentage of overall negatives.
Bowl matchup: vs. Arizona State, 3:30 p.m. Dec. 15, Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl, ABC
42. Joe Burrow, LSU (Jr., 6-4, 216)
Burrow instilled some life into the LSU offense, but he's far too inconsistent across the board, ranking 74th in adjusted completion percentage from a clean pocket (74.9 percent) and 92nd with a passer rating of just 55.3 when facing pressure this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. UCF, 1 p.m. Jan. 1, PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, ESPN
43. Cole McDonald, Hawaii (Soph., 6-4, 205)
The high-end plays are exciting for McDonald, who ranks seventh in the nation in deep passing yards and sixth with 31 touchdowns from a clean pocket. He is just too inconsistent when reading the field, leading to him ranking 78th at avoiding turnover-worthy plays.
Bowl matchup: vs. Louisiana Tech, 10:30 p.m. Dec. 22, SoFi Hawaii Bowl, ESPN
44. Zach Wilson, BYU (Fr., 6-3, 205)
Only a freshman, Wilson has a quick release and has shown good things on film, but he must improve his arm strength to better put himself on the NFL radar.
Bowl matchup: vs. Western Michigan, 4 p.m. Dec. 21, Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, ESPN
45. Anthony Russo, Temple (Soph., 6-4, 230) (Questionable)
Russo flashes intriguing arm talent, leading to the 14th-highest percentage of big-time throws, but he must improve his accuracy and decision-making after ranking only 88th at avoiding turnover-worthy plays.
Bowl matchup: vs. Duke, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 27, Walk-On's Independence Bowl, ESPN
46. Blake Barnett, South Florida (Jr., 6-5, 217) (Questionable)
The former five-star recruit has had a solid season for USF, but decision-making is an issue, as he ranks 55th at avoiding turnover-worthy plays.
Bowl matchup: vs. Marshall, 8 p.m. Dec. 20, Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl, ESPN
47. A.J. Erdely, UAB (Sr., 6-4, 220) (Questionable)
Erdely has a good feel in the pocket, leading to him ranking 13th with an adjusted completion percentage of 68.2 under pressure, though his PFF grade dropped from 83.9 to 76.3 this season. Backup: If Erdely can't go in the bowl game, Tyler Johnston III has had a strong 124 dropbacks, as he's an aggressive downfield thrower, but his accuracy is inconsistent as evidenced by his 62.1 percent adjusted completion percentage.
Bowl matchup: vs. Northern Illinois, 7 p.m. Dec. 18, Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl, ESPN
48. Eli Peters, Toledo (Soph., 6-2, 190)
Peters has been a volatile passer since taking over as starter, ranking 12th in the nation in positively graded throws, but he must cut down on the negatives, as he ranked only 82nd at avoiding them.
Bowl matchup: vs. FIU, 12:30 p.m. Dec. 21, Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl, ESPN
49. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati (Fr., 6-4, 212)
While Ridder doesn't look like he has an NFL arm at this point, he has flashed downfield throwing ability with the eighth-best big-time throw percentage in the nation.
Bowl matchup: vs. Virginia Tech, 12 p.m. Dec. 31, Military Bowl Presented by Northrop Grumman, ESPN
50. Sam Hartman, Wake Forest (Fr., 6-1, 185) (Out)
It was an impressive start to Hartman's career as a true freshman, as he tied for seventh with seven touchdowns under pressure before being lost for the season. Backup: Jamie Newman posted a passer rating of 106.7 when pressured in a limited sample.
Bowl matchup: vs. Memphis, 12 p.m. Dec. 22, Jared Birmingham Bowl, ESPN
51. Zac Thomas, Appalachian State (Soph., 6-1, 205)
Thomas doesn't make many mistakes, as he ranks 13th in avoiding negatively graded throws, but he doesn't have the downfield ability to make an impact at the next level.
Bowl matchup: vs. Middle Tennessee, 9 p.m. Dec. 15, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, ESPN
52. Nick Fitzgerald, Mississippi State (Sr., 6-5, 230)
One of the most athletic quarterbacks in the nation, Fitzgerald has not developed into an NFL-caliber passer, as he has the fourth-highest percentage of negatively graded throws in the nation and ranks 139th in adjusted completion percentage at 62.8.
Bowl matchup: vs. Iowa, 12 p.m. Jan. 1, Outback Bowl, ESPN2
53. N'Kosi Perry, Miami (Fr., 6-4, 185)
Perry is still young and developing as a passer as his 72.7 passing grade ranks 62nd in the nation.
Bowl matchup: vs. Wisconsin, 5:15 p.m. Dec. 27, New Era Pinstripe Bowl, ESPN
54. Ty Gangi, Nevada (Sr., 6-2, 205)
Gangi is aggressive down the field, ranking 19th in the country with 910 yards on deep passes, but inconsistent mechanics and decision-making have him ranked just 99th at avoiding turnover-worthy plays.
Bowl matchup: vs. Arkansas State, 1:15 p.m. Dec. 29, NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, CBSSN
55. Nathan Rourke, Ohio (Jr., 6-2, 208)
Rourke has two solid years of grading and this season he leads the nation with a 131.2 passer rating when pressured. He's been better as a runner, as he is tied for first with an 88.3 rushing grade and ranks 41st with a passing grade of 78.2.
Bowl matchup: vs. San Diego State, 8 p.m. Dec. 19, DXL Frisco Bowl, ESPN
56. D'Eriq King, Houston (Jr., 5-11, 195) (Out)
King is a talented deep-ball passer, finishing with 912 yards on deep passes while averaging 7.6 yards per attempt and 14 scores on the ground. He's dynamic but limited by his size at the next level. Backup: It's very early in Clayton Tune's career, but he has the athleticism to make plays with his legs and likes to push the ball down the field.
Bowl matchup: vs. Army, 3:30 p.m. Dec. 22, Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, ESPN
57. James Morgan, Florida Intl (Jr., 6-4, 213)
Morgan has flashed the top-end plays, whether at Bowling Green or this year at FIU, but he has the 23rd-highest percentage of negatively graded throws and that has always limited his potential.
Bowl matchup: vs. Toledo, 12:30 p.m. Dec. 21, Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl, ESPN
58. Anthony Brown, Boston College (Soph., 6-2, 220)
Brown took a step forward this season as a passer, but he still ranked 116th in adjusted completion percentage at 66.5 percent, a number he'd have to improve greatly to have next-level success.
Bowl matchup: vs. Boise State, 1:30 p.m. Dec. 26, SERVPRO First Responder Bowl, ESPN
59. Chase Garbers, California (Fr., 6-2, 205)
Garbers just hasn't been efficient enough when given a clean pocket as he's graded at only 70.9, and he's done his best work as a runner, grading out at 71.2 this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. TCU, 9 p.m. Dec. 26, Cheez-It Bowl, ESPN
60. Andre Nunez, Louisiana (Sr., 6-3, 205)
Nunez has nice touch on the deep ball, ranking 43rd in deep passing adjusted completion percentage, but he has struggled under pressure this year as his PFF grades drops from 82.9 to 54.2.
Bowl matchup: vs. Tulane, 2:30 p.m. Dec. 15, AutoNation Cure Bowl, CBSSN
61. Brent Stockstill, Middle Tennessee (Sr., 6-0, 215)
Despite the ninth-highest adjusted completion percentage in the nation at 77.9 percent, Stockstill's arm is severely lacking and he struggles attacking down the field.
Bowl matchup: vs. Appalachian State, 9 p.m. Dec. 15, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, ESPN
62. Brian Lewerke, Michigan State (Jr., 6-3, 220) (Questionable)
Lewerke plays a spastic brand of football that has led to the 21st-highest percentage of turnover-worthy plays. He lacks a big arm but flashes enough good throws to fool evaluators if they catch the right few games. Backup: If Lewerke can't go, Rocky Lombardi also struggled in relief this season with a 58.0 overall grade and an adjusted completion percentage of only 56.6 percent.
Bowl matchup: vs. Oregon, 3 p.m. Dec. 31, Redbox Bowl, Fox
63. Terry Wilson, Kentucky (Soph., 6-3, 205)
The flashes have been brilliant for Wilson, particularly with one of the best throws of the season -- a deep post to help defeat Florida, but Wilson's 64.3 passing grade ranked just 109th this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Penn State, 1 p.m. Jan. 1, VRBO Citrus Bowl, ABC
64. Christian Chapman, San Diego State (Sr., 6-0, 200)
A lack of size and arm strength limit Chapman's potential, but he sees the game well and his 69.5 percent adjusted completion percentage ranks fifth in the Mountain West in his limited sample this season.
Bowl matchup: vs. Ohio, 8 p.m. Dec. 19, DXL Frisco Bowl, ESPN
65. Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh (Soph., 6-2, 220)
Pickett has shown off a solid arm, but he ranks only 100th in percentage of positively graded throws and his accuracy needs work.
Bowl matchup: vs. Stanford, 2 p.m. Dec. 31, Hyundai Sun Bowl, CBS
66. Bryce Perkins, Virginia (Jr., 6-3, 210)
Perkins is more of a runner than a passer -- he graded at 79.7 in the run game, good for fifth among quarterbacks, but only 72.5 as a passer, good for only 63rd.
Bowl matchup: vs. South Carolina, 12 p.m. Dec. 29, Belk Bowl, ABC
67. Marcus Childers, Northern Illinois (Soph., 6-0, 222)
Childers has a solid arm, but he lacks feel in the pocket and he must process his reads better. His 69.1 passing grade is tied for 86th in the nation.
Bowl matchup: vs. UAB, 7 p.m. Dec. 18, Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl, ESPN
68. Isaiah Green, Marshall (Fr., 6-2, 202)
Accuracy is an issue for Green, who ranks 122nd in adjusted completion percentage this season at 65.6 and ranks 85th at avoiding negatively graded throws.
Bowl matchup: vs. South Florida, 8 p.m. Dec. 20, Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl, ESPN
69. Sawyer Smith, Troy (Soph., 6-3, 219)
Smith has struggled since taking over as Troy's starter, ranking 121st in overall grade at 62.3 and 73rd in adjusted completion percentage at 70.9
