Heisman Watch Week 9

Last week, our Heisman watch had only nine players. This week, thanks to the reemergence of a certain Big 12 player, we have ten players again. Now that we're in November, the Heisman race is getting serious. We now have a great idea about who's going to be in New York next month. Let's get started.

10. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (Last Week: NR)- A few weeks ago, it seemed like Mayfield's Heisman campaign was over, but against all odds, he's back. His reemergence comes after a dominant win over Kansas in which he threw for 236 yards and four scores.

9. Seth Russell, Baylor (Last Week: 6)- No one was flying under the radar more than Russell over the last few weeks. He needed to keep winning for his Heisman race to continue, but his Bears fell to Texas. The bright side: he did account for three touchdowns.

8. Jalen Hurts, Baylor (Last Week: 9)- Hurts moves up a spot after the fall of Seth Russell. He didn't play in Week 9, but he goes up against LSU next week.

7. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (Last Week: 8)- Yes, Florida State fell to Clemson, but that's in no way Cook's fault. He rushed for 169 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Cook is easily one of the best backs in the nation right now, and he has a great chance of being invited to New York.

6. Donnel Pumphrey, San Diego State (Last Week: 7)- Pumphrey continues to put up fantastic numbers. Against Utah State he ran for 223 yards on 32 carries (for a 7.0 average) as SDSU won 40-13.

5. J.T. Barrett, Ohio State (Last Week: 4)- Ohio State eeked out a win over Northwestern, but Barrett played well. He didn't have any scores, but he did pass for 223 yards and added 71 yards on the ground.

4. Jabrill Peppers, Michigan (Last Week: 5)- When Peppers first made our Heisman watch, we were understandably pessimistic about his Heisman chances. Now, it looks like Peppers has a real shot. He's getting plenty of offensive shine while still making plays for the defense.

3. Jake Browning, Washington (Last Week: 3)- Washington ran the ball more than they passed, but Browning still had a great game. He threw for 186 yards and two scores as the Huskies beat the #17 Utes.

2. Deshaun Watson, Clemson (Last Week: 2)- Watson faced a very tough opponent in Florida State, but he led his team to a huge victory. He had more than 400 total yards and two passing scores as the Tigers kept their undefeated season alive.

1. Lamar Jackson, Louisville (Last Week: 1)- Another week, another sensational performance by the consensus Heisman front-runner. The Cardinal threw for four touchdowns and 361 yards while also adding 88 on the ground.
