1. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
There is no way Mariota loses his status as the Heisman favorite after what he did against Colorado. Although this may have been an “easy win” for Oregon, Mariota performed near perfection as he completed 75 percent of his passes and scored four total touchdowns.
The Ducks are already headed to the Pac-12 title game, but they still have to face Oregon State on the road. Oregon State has never been afraid to play spoiler, and they did exactly that against Arizona State. Mariota already has 32 touchdown passes with just two interceptions, so the Heisman is as good as his if the Ducks win out.
Stats: 3,103 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, 68.0 completion percentage; 97 carries, 597 rushing yards, 9 touchdowns
