Ranking the Heisman Favorites Heading into Week 7

The 2020 Heisman Trophy race is reaching an odd landmark.

Several candidates for college football's most prestigious award are nearing their fifth appearance of the season, so their respective margins for error are thinning. Texas and Oklahoma both have two losses, basically eliminating Sam Ehlinger and Spencer Rattler. D'Eriq King struggled badly in Miami's ugly game at Clemson.

Yet at the same time, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is still preparing for his season debut.

That's the long version of reminding you the rankings are destined to change over the next few weeks. Some players will struggle, others will thrive, and still more will actually have a game.
