Week 5 Heisman Watch

The Heisman Race is still in its early stages, but we already have a very good look at the potential candidates. Of course, there is a player totally of the radar right now who could surprise us all. We have two candidates from last week who dropped off: C.J. Prosise of Notre Dame and Chad Kelly of Ole Miss, who both lost in Week 5. Let's get started.

10. Jared Goff, Cal (Last Week: NR)- After weeks of being on the bubble, Goff finally bursts through after throwing for 390 yards and four touchdowns against Washington State. Cal is now 5-0 for the first time since 2007, mainly thanks to their QB.

9. Seth Russell, Baylor (Last Week: NR)- Like Goff, Russell has been on the watchlist for weeks, and he finally breaks through. He does so after throwing 376 yards and five scores against Texas Tech. He also ran for 81 yards and two scores.

8. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Last Week: 8)- Mayfield continued his Heisman campaign successfully in Week 5 by throwing for 320 yards and three scores against West Virginia. His Sooners are now ranked at #10.

7. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 6)- Henry didn't have a fantastic game against Georgia, but he did run for 148 yards and one score on 26 carries. His performance helped Alabama beat the Bulldogs 38-10.

6. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 7)- Elliot has found himself slipping in recent weeks, but he was great in Week 5. The junior ran for 274 yards and three touchdowns. On top of that, OSU is still #1 in the country.

5. Cody Kessler, USC (Last Week: 4)- Kessler drops a spot due to inactivity, but he will have a chance to move back up the rankings when his USC Trojans take on Washington in Week 6. He has thrown 15 scores and one pick this season.

4. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 5)- Deshaun Watson moves into the Top 4 after leading Clemson to an upset over #6 Notre Dame. He accounted for all three of the Tigers' touchdown. Clemson is now ranked #6.

3. Nick Chubb, Georgia (Last Week: 2)- Chubb had a good outing against Alabama, as he put up 146 yards and a score against Alabama. Unfortunately for him, it was not good enough to stop the onslaught that is Leonard Fournette.

2. Leonard Fournette, LSU (Last Week: 3)- Fournette has been nothing short of fantastic this season. After the game against Eastern Michigan, Fournette is the first player in SEC history to rush for more than 200 yards in three straight games.

1. Trevone Boykin, TCU (Last Week: 1)- Despite Fournette's incredible season, Boykin manages to hang on to the top spot. He accounted for five total touchdowns in TCU's 50-7 win over the Texas Longhorns.
