Training camps kick off this week for select teams (many more follow next week), which means position competitions are resuming in earnest.
As always, no group of players will capture more attention than those vying to be QB1 for Week 1. The number of notable quarterback competitions isn't overly robust, but several top-shelf programs are included.
Of the four CFP teams from 2022, only Michigan (J.J. McCarthy) returns a starter at quarterback. Alabama is set for one of its most wide-open preseason competitions in the Nick Saban era, while in-state rival Auburn also must find its answer after adding Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne.
Teams such as Baylor (incumbent Blake Shapen), BYU (Pitt transfer Kedon Slovis) and Texas Tech (incumbent Tyler Shough) decided their starting quarterbacks in the spring.
