This conversation got silly very quickly, but I will give HugeCat a little bit of credit. This was from Bill Connelly's weekly column
Feel free to use this on the other board as well, since you also pushed that narrative there as well
We're attempting an experiment this season: What happens if I award the Heisman every single week of the season and dole out weekly points, F1-style (in this case, 10 points for first place, 9 for second, etc.)? How will this Heisman race play out, and how different will the result be from the actual Heisman voting?
Here is this week's Heisman top 10:
1. Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA (24-for-33 for 315 yards and three TDs, plus 53 rushing yards and one TD vs. Washington)
2. Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama (18 carries for 206 yards and two TDs, plus 20 receiving yards vs. Arkansas)
3. Max Duggan, TCU (23-for-33 for 302 yards and three TDs, plus 116 rushing yards and two TDs vs. Oklahoma)
4. Drake Maye, UNC (26-for-36 for 363 yards and three TDs, plus 73 rushing yards and two TDs vs. Virginia Tech)
5. Adrian Martinez, Kansas State (12-for-19 for 116 yards and one TD, plus 171 rushing yards and three TDs vs. Texas Tech)
6. Clark Phillips III, Utah (three tackles, three interceptions, 1 pick six vs. Oregon State)
7. Miyan Williams, Ohio State (21 carries for 189 yards and five TDs, plus three receiving yards vs. Rutgers)
8. Jadrian Taylor, UTEP (four tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble, one 100-yard fumble return TD vs. Charlotte)
9. Garrett Shrader, Syracuse (17-for-17 for 238 yards and two TDs, plus one rushing TD vs. Wagner)
10. Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Kansas State (six tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble vs. Texas Tech)
Any of the top five could have taken the top prize this week. Martinez found his confidence last week against Oklahoma and kept things rolling with a couple of huge runs to keep Texas Tech at bay; this week, Duggan found his confidence against OU, ripping off a long touchdown run and landing a series of haymakers through the air. Meanwhile, Gibbs had fourth-quarter touchdown runs of 72 and 76 yards to put away Arkansas, and Maye's mistake-free early play has put him in elite company.

They were all brilliant in Week 5. But we're going to give the nod to DTR. The fifth-year UCLA quarterback produced one of his best-ever performances in helping to take down Washington on Friday night in Pasadena. He was incredible with his arm, and he all but put the game away with a cruel and nasty juke in the third quarter.
Here are six more deserving honorable mentions:
• Dante Cephas, Kent State (13 catches for 246 yards and one TD vs. Ohio)
• Jayden De Laura, Arizona (33-for-46 for 484 yards and six TDs, plus 28 rushing yards vs. Colorado)
• Khalid Duke, Kansas State (eight tackles, three sacks vs. Texas Tech)
• Harrison Mevis, Missouri (5-for-5 on field goals, including 41-, 49-, 52 and 56-yarders, vs. Georgia)
• Monty Montgomery, Louisville (seven tackles, three TFLs, two sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception vs. Boston College)
• Caleb Williams, USC (27-for-37 for 348 yards, three TDs and one INT, plus 44 rushing yards and one TD vs. Arizona State)
