1. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State
Just like that, a new Heisman Trophy favorite has emerged. The Mississippi State quarterback led his team to a commanding 38-23 victory over Auburn, and they rose to No. 1 in the rankings. Although his passing numbers were not spectacular, Prescott made many plays that allowed his team to thrive and excelled in rushing with 121 yards and two touchdowns.
Prescott has posted impressive enough passing numbers throughout the season, and he has impressive rushing numbers that match up with Cam Newton. Leading the No. 1 team also gives him the edge over Mariota.
Stats: 1,478 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, 61.5 completion percentage; 106 carries, 576 rushing yards, 8 touchdowns
