SEC Football: Beck, Cook rise in Week 7 QB Power Rankings
We’re right around the midway point of the 2023 college football season. Some QB’s and teams are trending up, some are trending down. With that being said, here is my Week 7 SEC football QB Power Rankings.
Beck, Cook rise in Week 7 SEC Football Quarterback Power Rankings
14. Payton Thorne/Robby Ashford (Auburn)
Previous Ranking: 14
It was Auburn’s bye week in Week 6, so there was no new action for the QB pair of Payton Thorne and Robby Ashford. The season totals still sit at 62.8% passing (59/94), 643 passing yards, 198 rushing yards, 6 total TD’s (4 passing, 2 rushing), and 4 INT’s for Thorne. For Ashford, they are 44.4% completion percentage (8/18 passing), 71 passing yards, 134 rushing yards, 6 total TD’s (1 passing, 5 rushing), and 0 INT’s.
They’ll be back in action this week as Auburn travels to Death Valley to take on Jayden Daniels and LSU at 7:00 pm Eastern.
13. AJ Swann/Ken Seals (Vanderbilt)
Previous Ranking: 13
Ken Seals got his second straight start in Week 6 as AJ Swann continues to be banged up. Seals was solid, even though Vanderbilt fell 38-14 to Florida to fall to 2-5 (0-3 in SEC). Seals ended up going 19/34 passing for 280 yards and 2 TD’s (with no INT’s). For the season, Swann has a 53.8% completion percentage (93/173 passing), 1,290 passing yards, 12 total TD’s (11 passing, 1 rushing), and 7 INT’s. For Seals, the numbers are a 60.5% completion percentage (46/76), 635 passing yards, 7 total TD’s (6 passing, 1 rushing), and 1 INT.
Whoever starts between Seals and Swann will have their work cut out for them this weekend as they host Carson Beck and No. 1 Georgia at Noon Eastern on Saturday.
