In the near future, Eleven Warriors will have a piece focused on the 10-best Ohio State quarterbacks of the 21st century. A minimum of 10 starts is needed for a player to be eligible for the list. To date, 11 signal-callers have started at least 10 games for the Buckeyes since 2000.

There are 11 players for 10 spots. This is where we turn to you to help determine the 10 quarterbacks that belong and the order in which to rank them.

Below you will find a synopsis for each of the 11 players. In the comments, please list your top 10. Put the quarterback you think is the best at No. 1 and fill in the rest accordingly. Yes, there will be one player left off your list.

What qualifies a player as the best quarterback? Is he the best passer? Best dual-threat player? Most competitive? Most wins? National titles? Gold pants? Most awards? The "it" factor? It's up to you to decide how you want to quantify what's most important for the rankings of your list.
