ESPN’s leading stars in the college football playoff race includes Jordan Travis.

7. QB Jordan Travis, Florida State

If Daniels isn’t the most transfixing dual-threat QB in the country, Travis is. The senior picks his spots more in the scrambling department but is still ultra-dangerous, and after a midseason Seminole funk he was one of the best quarterbacks in the country late in 2022. Actually, according to Total QBR, he was the best from Week 8 onward (he had a 91.1), ahead of even Stetson Bennett (89.8), Caleb Williams (88.1) and Bryce Young (85.8). He mixed increasing pass efficiency with ever-dangerous legs, and FSU went unbeaten after Oct. 15.

With Travis and Trey Benson in the backfield, FSU’s run game should be as good as ever. And with Michigan State transfer Keon Coleman joining Johnny Wilson in the receiving corps, the passing game might have even more upside if Travis’ late-year form is sustainable.

These 23 storylines will dominate college football.
