The top three remain unchanged after week 3. Kyler Murray made the jump into the top 5 after a big game against Iowa State (348 passing yards and 3 TDs along with 77 rushing yards). Trace McSorley made a move toward the top after a 5 touchdown day (2 passing, 3 rushing ) against Kent State.
Jonathan Taylor of Wisconsin fell out of the top 10 after the Badgers suffered the first loss of the year and Taylor had his worst game of the season, with 117 rushing yards (still not bad) and being held out of the endzone for the first time this year.
Week 4 features some matchups of the current top 10 in the Heisman HYPE Rankings, with Jake Fromm and Drew Lock facing off as Georgia travels to Mizzou. Bryce Love (just outside of the top 10) will go up against Justin Herbert as the Stanford Cardinal and Oregon Ducks meet in a Pac-12 North matchup. Tua Tagovailoa and the Crimson Tide will host Texas A&M, who gave the 2nd ranked Clemson Tigers a close call two weeks ago in College Station; we will if the Aggies can slow down Tua and company, who have put up over 50 points in each game this year.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back next week.
