1. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State
Prescott plays for the No. 1 team in the country, and he has the numbers to back up his team’s undefeated record with a signature win against Auburn. The Bulldogs were on a bye week, so Prescott cannot be penalized in his Heisman campaign.
The Bulldogs quarterback has posted impressive passing numbers, and he has rushing numbers that rival that of former Heisman-winning SEC quarterbacks Tim Tebow, Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel. If the Bulldogs continue to be a top team in the SEC West, Prescott is guaranteed a trip to New York. However, he will need to hold off Mariota.
Stats: 1,478 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, 61.5 completion percentage; 106 carries, 576 rushing yards, 8 touchdowns
