All 10 FBS conferences as well as a football independent are represented on the list, rounding out this season's list at 48 of the nation's leading quarterbacks.
The preseason Watch List, semifinalists, finalists, and award recipient are selected by the distinguished Golden Arm Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, and former players. The award annually recognizes the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class. This year's watch list was selected based on career player performance and expectations heading into the 2023 college football season.
