College QB Ratings

I�ve always been amused by the College quarterback ratings and how high they are. While we can debate how each system works, it does seem odd that the Top 100 QBs all have quarterback ratings greater than 100. Sam Bradford led the NCAA with a rating just over 186! I always thought of 100 meaning the best and anything over that ridiculously exceptional which is why I like the NFL rating system better. Philip Rivers was the only QB to have a rating higher than 100 this year. It seems more reasonable.

So I decided to calculate the NFL ratings of college quarterbacks and see how they compare. The overall rankings are fairly similar (I screwed up earlier) and the numbers are high but not nearly as high as the college ratings.

Here are the Top 25 College Quarterbacks with their NFL rating and College Rank.
