Week 4 Heisman Watch

We are now four weeks into the college football season, and the Heisman race is getting hot. We have a lot of contenders that didn't even make the list, like Baylor's Seth Russell and Jared Goff of Cal. We had one player drop off: Dalvin Cook of Florida State. He had a bye week and drops off as a result. Let's get started.

10. C.J. Prosise, Notre Dame (Last Week: NR)- Prosise jumps on to the rankings after an impressive showing against Umass. In 15 carries, he ran for 149 yards and two scores in ND's 62-27 win that kept them at #6.

9. Chad Kelly, Ole Miss (Last Week: 9)- After a great game against Alabama, Kelly slowed down a little big against Vanderbilt. He did throw for one score, but he also had two interceptions. Ole Miss is still ranked at #3.

8. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Last Week: 8)- Mayfield had a bye week in Week 4, so he says still on this watchlist. He has a chance to jump up the rankings when he takes on undefeated West Virginia.

7. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 3)- Originally one of the front-runners for the most prestigious individual award in college football, Elliot has slipped in recent weeks. He did run for 124 yards and one score against Western Michigan.

6. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 5)- Like Elliot, Henry was once of the biggest front-runners in the Heisman race. He only rushed for 52 yards and one score against Louisiana Monroe. He'll need to step it up if he wants to stay in the race.

5. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 7)- He had a bye week in Week 4, but he still jumps up after other plays fell. He will have a chance to really spark up his Heisman campaign when he takes on Notre Dame on Saturday.

4. Cody Kessler, USC (Last Week: 6)- Kessler rebounded nicely after USC's loss to Stanford by throwing for five touchdowns against Arizona State. He has 15 scores and one pick over the entire season.

3. Leonard Fournette, LSU (Last Week: 3)- Fournette has been absolutely sensational this entire season. He has a total of 647 yards over the season and eight rushing touchdowns. If he keeps this up, Fournette will be a finalist for sure.

2. Nick Chubb, Georgia (Last Week: 2)- Chubb had three touchdowns (one receiving and two rushing) in Week 4 while also running for 131 yards. Chubb has been nothing short of outstanding this season and is primed to go to New York.

1. Trevone Boykin, TCU (Last Week: 1)- Once again, Boykin manages to hold on to the top spot. He does so after throwing for 485 yards, four scores, and no picks, in TCU's 55-52 win over Texas Tech. The Horned Frogs are ranked #4 in the nation.
