As the college football season reaches its midpoint, it's becoming clearer who the top players in the Pac-12 are.

Football analytics company Pro Football Focus watches every player on every play and has graded these student-athletes as the best at their positions through seven weeks. (Note that these ratings do not reflect the views of the Pac-12.)

Despite having what would be the greatest completion percentage (74.8) in Pac-12 history, UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson is graded as the eighth-best QB in the conference.
