Heisman Trophy Candidates Entering Week 10

West Virginia v TCU — As a result of many teams getting a much-deserved bye week, there wasn’t a whole lot of movement in the Heisman rankings. Fear not, fans who love to see complete chaos in college football — Week 10 is about to get crazy.

The biggest thing to watch out for this week is Leonard Fournette and Derrick Henry taking the field against one another.

Before things start to get really weird in this sport, check out the Heisman power rankings for Week 10.

10. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

Oklahoma Football

10. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

Oklahoma Football — As a result of the schedule makers loading up the end of the season with a ton of Big 12 showdowns, players like Baker Mayfield can either skyrocket up the Heisman rankings or completely fall off the map. For now, Mayfield is at least part of the conversation.

9. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

Florida State Football

9. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

Florida State Football — Dalvin Cook didn't play last week, so there isn't much to report. However, the Seminoles need him down the stretch if they are going to win a conference title.

8. Josh Doctson, WR, TCU

TCU Football

8. Josh Doctson, WR, TCU

TCU Football — There's probably no way that Josh Doctson will jump Trevone Boykin in the Heisman race, but he is still one of the best players in the country.

7. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

7. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

Christian McCaffrey — A loss in Week 9 could have ruined everything for Stanford. The Cardinal somehow survived, and Christian McCaffrey's Heisman hopes are still alive.

6. Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor

Baylor

6. Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor

Baylor — Now is the time for Corey Coleman to really step up. The Bears will be without QB Seth Russell for the rest of the year, and Baylor's schedule is about to get rough.

5. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Clemson

5. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Clemson — Deshaun Watson is really starting to sneak up on everyone, and it doesn't hurt that Clemson could be the best team in college football.

Who knows if Watson (or anyone for that matter) can catch the top two guys in this race, but dropping six-touchdown performances left and right could do the trick, which is what the QB pulled off in Week 9.

4. Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama

Alabama Football

4. Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama

Alabama Football — Derrick Henry is one of the best players in the country. However, if he wants to stay in this race, he has to do one thing.

That thing: Outshine Fournette when Alabama takes on LSU this weekend.

3. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State

Ohio State Football

3. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State

Ohio State Football — J.T. Barrett is out, which means Ezekiel Elliott has to continue what he has been doing (rack up the rushing yards and TDs).

2. Trevone Boykin, QB, TCU

West Virginia v TCU

2. Trevone Boykin, QB, TCU

West Virginia v TCU — Trevone Boykin is a video game out there. His stats out on the football field continue to be insane. With another monster week against Oklahoma State, and Fournette disappointing against Alabama, things could get very, very interesting.

1. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

LSU Football

1. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

LSU Football — By now, I think we can all come to the conclusion that this is a huge week for Fournette. Basically, he can either lock up the Heisman, or let everyone else in.
