8. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

Make no mistake, CeeDee Lamb hasn’t gone anywhere in terms of making huge plays throughout the season for the Oklahoma Sooners. However, the team suffering their first loss two weeks ago and Lamb having some good-not-great performances caused him to drop out of the rankings. On Saturday in the nail-biting win over Iowa State, though, Lamb made his case to climb back into the top 10.

Lamb finished the win with eight catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns, continuing to be a playmaking monster for the Sooners — though he lost a fumble, a weird trend for possible Heisman candidates this week. Even still, the Oklahoma wideout now has 983 yards and 13 touchdowns receiving this season. That’s good enough to keep him firmly in the fold of these rankings.

7. Chuba Hubbard, RB, Oklahoma State

Chuba Hubbard and the Oklahoma State Cowboys were idle in Week 11 of the college football season. The running back has been their workhorse this season, a slight change of course for a Mike Gundy led football team. And if the Cowboys had been able to post better than a 6-3 record through their first nine games of this season, a strong argument could be made that Hubbard should be in the top five of the Heisman rankings.

Hubbard has 1,604 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns on the year, making him one of the most overall productive running backs in college football, even if he hasn’t contributed as a receiver hardly at all. Hubbard also has four 200-yards outings and has only been held below 116 yards in one game this season — when he had eight carries in Week 2 against McNeese State. He’s been a stud and deserves to be recognized as such.
