College Football Week 11 & Heisman Race

No major shakeups in the top 5    Image result for baker mayfield vs oklahoma state  teams, but after the top 5, the teams really moved around.  2 Big 10 teams were upset and shook up the rankings.  In the Big 12 Bedlam was an offensive outrage.  Here's a brief rundown on how week 10 played out:


Week 10 recap


  • Georgia rushed for 242 yards in a victory vs South Carolin's 42 yards rushing.Image result for Nick CHubb vs south carolina 2017
  • Jalen Hurts had 183 yards passing 1 td and 44 yards rushing 1 td in a victory vs their rival LSU
  • Bedlam was electric!  Both teams left their defenses in the locker room.  Baker Mayfield threw for 598 yards 5 td's and Marquise Brown had 9 catches 265 yards with 2 touchdowns.  Mason Rudolph for Oklahoma State also threw 5 td's and Justice Hill ran for 228 yards, but came up short to the Sooners.

  • Riley Ferguson threw 4 touchdowns for Memphis in a victory against Tulsa

Heisman Race
  1. Baker Mayfield - Had an incredible game in Week 10.  Threw 5 touchdowns!! Tied for 3rd for pass td and 2nd in passing yards.  Holding the top vote in the Heisman this year is a tough job.
  2. Jalen Hurts - To me he is undefeated and he is running and throwing the ball the most consistent of any QB in the nation.  
  3. Jonathan Taylor - Has led his team to an undefeated season.  Third in                                                              Image result for wisconsin badger Jonathan taylor 2017 the nation in rushing.  His team can run the table behind his running attack.
  4. JT Barrett- Took a tumble to the Hawkeyes.  Still has had a great year overall with 28 td throws this year
  5. Rashaad Penny- Nation's leading rusher with 1600 yards 15 tds

Image result for turnover chain
  • Notre Dame have go on the road to face undefeated Miami.  The turnover chain is being put on a lot of defensive players necks lately.  We'll see if that defense can stop the run game by Josh Adams and Wimbush.  If so Miami will have to be considered as a top 4 team.
  • Alabama going on the road to Starkville will be a good test for the Tide.
  • Big 12 competition heats up with Oklahoma hosting TCU
  • We'll see if Iowa can upset another top 10 team at number 8 Wisconsin
  • Auburn hosting Georgia will shake up the top or bottom of the top 10.
