Heisman Watch Week 13

The college football regular season is almost over. Next week is championship week, which means that it is the last chance for Heisman candidates to make their case. A few weeks ago, Lamar Jackson had this wrapped up, but the race is now a lot more open. Things are getting exciting. Let's get started.

We have one player who fell off: Dalvin Cook. He's completely fallen off of the Heisman bandwagon. We have two players on the watch list: USC's Sam Darnold and Oklahoma's Dede Westbrook.

10. D'Onta Foreman, Texas (Last Week: NR)- Foreman has really jumped onto the scene recently. He's now only the 27th player in FBS history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Of course, Foreman has no real chance of winning the Heisman, but he should at least get a few votes.

9. Zach Terrell, Western Michigan (Last Week: 10)- Terrel and Western Michigan is now ranked #17. They are still undefeated and will take on Ohio in the MAC title game next week. Terrell's not going to win, but he will get some votes.

8. Donnel Pumphrey, San Diego State (Last Week: 5)- Pumphrey had a decent shot at making Manhattan a few weeks back, but now he's being overshadowed by Foreman. He ran for 53 yards and one score against Colorado State.

7. Jabrill Peppers, Michigan (Last Week: 7)- Now that Michigan's probably not going to make the playoffs, Peppers's Heisman chances fall a bit. He still has a good chance of being invited to New York though.

6. Jake Browning, Washington (Last Week: 8)- If Browning and Washington beat Colorado, Washington will win the Pac-12 and most likely make the playoffs. That should be enough for Browning to become a Heisman finalist.

5. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Last Week: 6)- Mayfield had the week off, but he still rises thanks to the fall of Pumphrey. He's been putting up solid numbers all season and Oklahoma still has an outside shot at making the playoffs.

4. J.T. Barrett, Ohio State (Last Week: 2)- The good news: Barrett and the Buckeyes will almost certainly be in the playoffs. The bad news: Barrett hasn't impressed enough the last few weeks. He'll definitely get some votes, but he probably won't be a Heisman finalist.

3. Jalen Hurts, Alabama (Last Week: 4)- Even if Alabama loses to Florida, they should still make the playoffs. But if Hurts wants to become only the third freshman to ever win the Heisman, he's going to need a huge game.

2. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 3)- You could make a case for Watson to be the Heisman front-runner. Clemson is close to making the playoffs and Watson has had a great season. Against in-state rivals South Carolina, Watson threw for six scores.

1. Lamar Jackson, Louisville (Last Week: 1)- Jackson had a rough game against unranked Kentucky. He threw for three interceptions as the Cardinals fell to the Wildcats. Jackson is still the leading Heisman candidate, but he's going to need Watson to falter next week.

Thanks for reading everyone. Check back next week for the final Heisman watch of the season.
