Week 13 SEC QB PFF Grades: Nussmeier rises after big day

By Chris Marler

Pro Football Focus has released their post-Week 13 grades for SEC Quarterbacks for the 2024 season. Here’s how each quarterback graded and where they are ranked nationally after another crazy weekend of college football. There wasn’t a ton of shakeup in the rankings which, after some of the performances on Saturday, is pretty shocking.

Jaxson Dart remained No. 1 on the list. He’s had an incredible season, but Saturday is a day I’m sure he wants back. Despite a loss to Florida and multiple interceptions, Dart managed to move up in the rankings. Following nearly the same blueprint was Jalen Milroe, who was putrid against Oklahoma, throwing three interceptions while Alabama was held to their lowest point total in nearly 20 years.

While the top three spots remained unchanged, Garrett Nussmeier moved back up the rankings from No. 6 to No. 4 after a great performance against Vanderbilt where he threw just nine incompletions and snapped LSU’s three-game losing streak.

There weren’t a ton of surprises or changes behind the top four. The one thing that stood out most was LaNorris Sellers finally getting some sort of recognition from PFF. Sellers only moved up two spots in the SEC Rankings to No. 12, but he also moved up over 50 spots in the national rankings. Sellers has been arguably the best quarterback in the league over the last six games, scoring 17 touchdown and throwing just three interceptions.
