After Week 10 saw four undefeated teams lose, how does the Heisman chase shake out after Derrick Henry and Deshaun Watson looked great and Trevone Boykin and Leonard Fournette looked human?

Leonard Fournette was exposed on Saturday vs the Alabama Crimson Tide defense, averaging less than 2 yards a carry, which could have been worse if not for LSU’s final drive of the game.

In that game, we saw Derrick Henry take over, and assert himself as the best running back on the field. With his performance, he creeps up to Fournette, and makes this race closer than ever.

Taking advantage of Fournette’s performance, or lack there of, was Deshaun Watson. Beating Florida State, clinching the ACC Atlantic division, Watson is the catalyst to the No. 1 ranked team in the nation.

And with their remaining schedule, the Clemson Tigers won’t be in the spotlight, but it gives Watson a chance to continue to show off his stuff, and head into the ACC Championship Game unscathed, going up against a pretty average opponent from the Coastal division.

A lot of teams took a loss this season, which instantly drops them in the Heisman polls. Memphis, Florida State, TCU, and LSU, all of their Heisman candidates took a dip in the polls, forcing them to ramp up their performances in the remaining three weeks if they want an invitation to New York City.

As of now, there seems to be about seven guys who realistically have a shot. Some teams — Baylor, TCU, Ohio State, LSU — are hitting the brunt of their schedule, and could start dropping if the losses start to come in.
