Heisman Watch Week 11

After a ton of teams were on bye in Week 10, we finally got some excitement in Week 11. How did it affect our Heisman rankings? Let's get started.

10. CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma (Last Week: 10)- Lamb injects a little life into his Heisman campaign thanks to his stellar performance in Oklahoma's narrow win over Iowa State. The star receiver caught eight passes for 167 yards and two scores (although he did lose a fumble).

9. Justin Herbert, Oregon (Last Week: 9)- Herbert stays put after not playing in Week 11.

8. Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State (Last Week: 8)- Hubbard and the Cowboys had a bye in Week 11.

7. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin (Last Week: 7)- After a couple of disappointing losses, Wisconsin was able to bounce back and beat Iowa. Taylor certainly did his part, as he ran for 250 yards on 31 carries.

6. Trevor Lawrence, Clemson (Last Week: 6)-  Lawrence has quietly put on some very good performances after a rather lackluster start to the season. Per FF, since Week 4, has thrown 18 touchdowns and is the second highest-rated QB.

5. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama (Last Week: 5)- Tua drops a spot after Alabama's perfect season was ruined at the hands of LSU. To be perfectly honest, Tua's Heisman campaign is nearing its end. After his small injury and this loss, Tua seems to be out of the immediate Heisman race. Could he still become a Heisman finalist? Absolutely, but it won't be easy, and he'll need some help from the players ahead of him.

4. J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State (Last Week: 5)- Dobbins finds himself in the top five after Ohio State beat the holy hell out of Maryland. Because of the Buckeyes' dominance, Dobbins only carried the ball 12 times, but he made the most out of those carries by running for 90 yards and two scores. 

3. Justin Fields, Ohio State (Last Week: 3)- Fields stays in the top three after accounting for 228 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns as OSU cruised to an easy win.

2. Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma (Last Week: 2)- Hurts had a decently solid game against the Iowa State Cyclones, but it would have been nice to see a bigger performance after the Sooners' loss to Kansas State last week. That being said, Hurts did have a statistically impressive night as he threw for 273 yards and accounted for five touchdowns.

1. Joe Burrow, LSU (Last Week: 1)- The Heisman is Burrow's to lose at this moment in time. The Tigers knocked off undefeated Alabama and cemented themselves as the team to beat in the SEC. Burrow played exceptionally well as he went 31 of 39 for no interceptions while leading the Tigers to 33 points in the first half.

Thanks for reading everyone.
