Whether Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts is most likely to win the Heisman is a debate that could rage on for the entire 2017 college football season, but there's little doubt that each one will be the best quarterback in his respective conference.
In this discussion, "best" doesn't necessarily mean the most talented quarterback or the one most likely to leave NFL draft scouts with chins and shirts drenched in drool. Rather, the top quarterback in each conference was selected based on perceived likelihood of being named the all-conference first-team QB at the end of the season.
