10. Jared Goff, QB, California

Jared Goff didn't have the best game in college football history last week, but he remains one of the best players in the country, and his team is still undefeated.

9. Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss

Chad Kelly looked human last week. Kelly had two picks, after all. One must remember that Kelly did lead his team to a victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide not too long ago ... on the road.

7. Cody Kessler, QB, USC

Cody Kessler and his USC Trojans are back in the spotlight thanks to the massacre of Arizona State. Kessler now has 15 TDs on the season and just one interception. If that doesn't say Heisman contender, then I don't know what does.

6. Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama

Derrick Henry may come in at No. 6, but he is still very much alive when it comes to winning a Heisman. Once again, this race is wide open — well, after the first player on this list.

5. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

If Oklahoma makes the College Football Playoff, Baker Mayfield will be a big reason why. And if the Sooners make the playoff, you better believe Mayfield will be in the running for the Heisman.

3. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia

Speaking of 100-yard performances, that's apparently all Nick Chubb knows how to do, which is the No. 1 reason why he could be taking home the hardware this season.

1. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Leonard Fournette has rushed for 200+ yards in back-to-back games. He is, without a doubt, the front-runner. But seriously, is the race even close right now?
