The 2026 college football season moves into Week 3 with several ACC quarterbacks already separating themselves through the opening portion of the schedule.
ESPN released its updated Total QBR ratings following Week 2, with Miami Hurricanes quarterback Darian Mensah leading the conference, and the nation, with a 96.5 rating. SMU Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings sits just behind him at 95.9, while Louisville Cardinals’ Lincoln Kienholz rounds out the ACC’s top three at 91.7.
Florida State Seminoles quarterback Ashton Daniels checks in at No. 9 among qualifying ACC quarterbacks with a 62.1 QBR. Daniels has played 85 qualifying action plays through FSU’s first two games, producing an 8.8 Points Above Average mark and 9.2 Expected Points Added.
The Seminoles were idle in Week 2 after splitting their opening two contests against New Mexico State and SMU. Daniels will have an opportunity to improve his standing Saturday when Florida State visits the No. 10 Alabama Crimson Tide.
