Heisman Trophy Power Rankings After Week 13

The Heisman race suffered a major shake up when losses from Penn State and Oregon caused some fluctuation in the rankings. Even without Tua Tagovailoa in the race this year, 2019 promises to be one of the most contested Heisman races in the last decade, as these six studs still have legit chances at winning college football's greatest individual prize.

6. Oklahoma State RB Chuba Hubbard

Hubbard might be the running back of an 8-3 Oklahoma State team that is probably going to fall against Oklahoma this week, but he's putting up some video game numbers this season. Hubbard has nearly 200 more rushing yards than Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor, leading the country with 1,832 yards on the ground while standing just one touchdown off of the national lead with 20 scores on the year. No running back has been playing at a higher level more consistently than Hubbard this season.

5. Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence

That shaky start looks like it was ages ago, as Lawrence has been white hot in recent weeks. With 27 touchdowns against just eight interceptions, Lawrence has once again been the engine that is powering a Clemson team that has flattened the rest of the ACC while barely breaking a sweat. It remains unlikely he ends up in New York thanks to inferior stats as compared to his contemporaries, but he remains Clemson's best chance at getting someone in the Heisman debate.

4. Ohio State QB Justin Fields

When Fields manages to hold on to the football, he is as talented as any quarterback in all of college football. Fields has 33 touchdowns through the air with just ONE interception, piling up an extra 10 touchdowns as a runner. He was his usual excellent stuff in a win at home against a tough Penn State defense, and the former Georgia Bulldog has Ohio State set up for a college football playoff spot provided that he can once again continue to dominate against Michigan and either Wisconsin or Minnesota.

3. Ohio State DE Chase Young

Do you understand how good you have to be to miss two games as a defensive player and still end up in the Heisman conversation? Young has 16.5 sacks this season despite having missed two golden stat-padding opportunities against Maryland and Rutgers, confirming that he has the best chance at winning a Heisman as a defensive player since Ndamukong Suh at Nebraska in 2009. Young should continue to feast against Michigan and whomever comes out of the Big Ten West, capping one of the greatest individual seasons in college football history.

2. Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts

Hurts' campaign took a major hit when Oklahoma fell to Kansas State, but his 173-yard rushing performance in a narrow win against TCU should have vaulted him back into the discussion. He has the passing efficiency to back up his unrivaled production as a runner, and could very easily give Lincoln Riley and the Sooners his third different Heisman trophy winner in three years as the head coach in Norman. Hurts will end up in New York, but he probably needs to win out to end up as the winner.

1. LSU QB Joe Burrow

Another day, another game completing 82 percent of his passes and throwing for three touchdowns. Ho hum. Burrow was barely even challenged against Arkansas, as he continued to produce at a a historic clip. With his LSU Tigers undefeated and currently ranked as the No. 1 team in the land, Burrow has the team success to match his unparalleled play on the field, which should win him plenty of brownie points from the writers. As it stands right now, it's his trophy to lose.
