Week 13 Heisman Watch

With only one week of the regular season left, the Heisman race is drawing to a close. For the first time this season, we have less than 10 players on our list. Two players have dropped out: Corey Coleman of Baylor (who didn't make much of an impact against TCU) and Leonard Fournette of LSU (who had the week off). Let's get started.

8. Royce Freeman, Oregon (Last Week: 10)- Freeman had himself a day as Oregon knocked off Oregon State, He ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns while also picking up 51 receiving yards. Freeman definitely won't make it to New York, but he deserves some votes.

7. Keenan Reynolds, Navy (Last Week: 6)- Reynolds and Navy fell to Houston, but Reynolds still had a good game. He went 13 for 16 with 312 yards and a touchdown through the air. He also ran for 84 yards and one score.

6. Ezekiel Elliot, Ohio State (Last Week: 7)- Elliot was a big reason that the Buckeyes trampled over the Wolverines. The back ran for 214 yards and two touchdowns while also catching two passes for seven yards.

5. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: 5)- Cook has an outside chance of making it to New York, but he'll definitely get some votes. In FSU's win over #12 Florida (a win that ended Florida's playoff dreams), Cook ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.

4.  Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Last Week: 4)- Mayfield and the Sooners beat Oklahoma St. to all but clinch a playoff spot. Mayfield went 17 of 25 for 180 yards, two scores, and zero picks. He also ran for 77 yards and one score on 11 runs.

3. Christian McCaffrey, Stanford (Last Week: 3)- McCaffrey failed to get 100 rushing yards against Notre Dame, but he did accumulate 19 receiving yards while also returning five kicks for an average of 21.8 yards.

2. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 1)- Watson may have fallen out of the top spot, but he can still has a chance to walk away with the Heisman. He'll need a big game over North Carolina in the ACC title game next week.

1. Derrick Henry, Alabama (Last Week: 2)- At this point in time, Henry looks like the favorite to walk away with the Heisman. He's been consistent for 'Bama all season long and is one of the main reasons they're ranked #2.

Thanks for reading, be sure to check in next week for the final installment of the Heisman watch.
