Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville (21 points)Last week: Jackson went off on North Carolina State for 431 yards, with three TD passes and a touchdown run.This week: at Virginia. The Cavaliers are third from the bottom in the ACC in defense (6.17 yards per play allowed). Expect another big game for Jackson.2 (tie). Jake Browning, QB, Washington (10 points)Last week: The sophomore threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score in a rout of Oregon State. He only completed 50 percent of his throws, which dropped his passer rating to second in the country (199.62), but still on pace to set a single-season record.This week: at No. 17 Utah. The Utes are in the middle of the Pac-12 pack defensively in yards per play (5.76, seventh in the conference), but they lead league with 14 interceptions and are fourth in sacks with 22.2 (tie). Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (10 points)Last week: Off.This week: at No. 12 Florida State. The Seminoles defense has struggled mightily when facing big-time offenses, including Louisville and Jackson.

Losses for Florida State have overshadowed the juniors outstanding season running and receiving (179.4 yards from scrimmage per game). He gets the spotlight game against No. 3 Clemson at home Saturday.Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma. Coming off a historic game against Texas Tech (263 yards rushing, 114 receiving and five touchdowns), the sophomore has a chance to put up numbers similar to Cooks. Would Heisman voters overlook his past arrest for punching a woman in a bar?Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech. The Red Raiders up-tempo offense and awful defense inflate his numbers, but he is on pace for about 5,700 yards and close to 50 touchdown passes.Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama.
