It's time for our latest Heisman watch. For the second time in three weeks, we have a player drop off the list due to injury. Last time it was Nick Chubb, now it's Seth Russell, who suffered a neck injury on Saturday. The other player who drops off of the list is Devontae Booker, who ran for only 62 yards against USC. Let's get started.
10. Paxton Lynch, Memphis (Last Week: NR)- Lynch beats out a few other game contenders (including Josh Doctson of TCU) to snag the tenth spot in our rankings. His performance on Saturday was fantastic, as he threw for 447 yards and four scores to keep Memphis undefeated.
9. Christian McCaffrey, Stanford (Last Week: NR)- McCaffrey's Heisman campaign has really lit up the last couple of weeks. This week, he ran for 109 yards, picked up 112 receiving yards, and accounted for two total touchdowns.
8. Corey Coleman, Baylor (Last Week: 10)- Coleman is one of the best receivers in the nation right now, and he showed it in Week 8. Not only did he catch two scores, but he also ran for 17 yards on three carries.
7. C.J. Prosise, Notre Dame (Last Week: 8)- Prosise was off this week, but moves a spot up thanks to Russell's unfortunate injury. He will get a chance to move further up this list next when Notre Dame takes on #21 Temple.
6. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: 7)- Florida State may have gotten knocked off by Georgia Tech, but that was in no way Cook's fault. He racked up 132 total yards while also rushing for one score.
5. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 6)- Clemson absolutely dominated Miami (Fl.) on Saturday, and Watson was a big reason why. He went 15 for 19 for 143 yards and one score while also rushing for 98 yards and a score.
4. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 4)- Henry stays in the fourth spot after Alabama's win over Tennessee. Not only did he pick up the game-winning touchdown, but he ran for 143 yards and another score.
3. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 3)- Elliot and the #1 Buckeyes totally dominated Rutgers, winning 49-7. Elliot ran for 142 yards and two scores while also catching three passes for 29 yards. At this rate, Elliot is certainly getting an invitation to New York.
2. Trevone Boykin, TCU (Last Week: 2)- Boykin didn't get a chance to put up flashy numbers this week, as TCU had the week off. He will however, get a chance at the top spot in our Heisman watch when he takes on West Virginia next week.
1. Leonard Fournette, LSU (Last Week: 1)- Once again, Fournette takes the top spot in our rankings. He does so after rushing for 150 yards and one score against Western Kentucky. Thanks in good part to their star RB, LSU is undefeated and ranked #4 in the country.

3. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 3)- In OSU's 38-10 win over Penn State, Elliot ran for 153 yards and a score with 27 carries. Elliot has been nothing short of gold this year and is a big reason the Buckeyes are ranked first in the ocean.
