Drake Maye and Hendon Hooker had impressive seasons that shouldn't go unnoticed, but they will both fall short of the Heisman this season.

No changes in the top five this week. Chase Brown has extended his lead over Blake Corum and should win this award has he performs better with a worse offensive line. Abandikana has been extremely impressive but will, unfortunately, fall short, and Mohamed Ibrahim deserves love for the season he is having after tearing his ACL last year.
