Week 7 Heisman Watch

At this point in the season, the Heisman race is really starting to heat up. We have a few real contenders and some players who have already dropped out. Only one player dropped out: Myles Garrett, who lost to Alabama. We also have a couple people on the watch-list, including receiver Josh Docston of TCU.

10. Corey Coleman, Baylor (Last Week: NR)- Coleman makes his debut on the list after putting up 199 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Baylor's win over West Virginia. It's tough for receivers to win the Heisman, but Coleman certainly has a shot.

9. Devontae Booker, Utah (Last Week: 10)- Booker moves up one spot after rushing for 118 yards and two touchdowns in 21 carries. Utah beat Arizona State, is undefeated, and is ranked #3 in the nation, thanks in good part to Booker.

8. C.J. Prosise, Notre Dame (Last Week: 9)- Prosise moves up one spot after his impressive performance against USC. He ran for 143 yards and two touchdowns while also picking up 32 receiving yards.

7. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: 8)- Cook has had a fantastic season thus far, and that continued against Louisville. He ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns in FSU's 41-21 win over the Cards.

6. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 4)- Watson did lead the Tigers to victory over Boston College, but it wasn't the most spectacular of performances. He acquired a QBR of 73.6 and threw for three scores and two pick.

5. Seth Russell, Baylor (Last Week: 6)- Russell put up really big numbers against West Virginia. He threw for 380 yards and five touchdowns while also rushing for 160 yards and a touchdown. At this rate, Russell will be invited to New York.

4. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 5)- Henry ran for a career-high 236 yards against Texas A&M, helping the Crimson Tide beat Texas A&M 41-23. He also ran for two scores and acquired 18 receiving yards.

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.

2. Trevone Boykin, TCU (Last Week: 2)- Boykin continues to put up crazy numbers, as he did against Iowa State. He went 27 for 32 while throwing for 432 yards and four scores. He also ran for 74 yards and a score.

1. Leonard Fournette, LSU (Last Week: 1)- Fournette faced a tough challenge against Florida and stood strong. He ran for 180 yards and two scores. The Tigers are now ranked fifth in the country and are strong playoff contenders.

Thanks for reading everyone.
