Barkley's rushing yards are not the greatest, but his all purpose yards are. He shown to be a threat not just as a rusher but as a receiver and returner on special teams. Barkley has consistently shown he is a Heisman candidate by being possibly the most valuable player in FBS. His team is also in the race for the College Football Playoff. He led his team in a beatdown of Michigan with over 100 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns.
Up next: Ohio State
2 Bryce Love- RB- Stanford
Bryce Love has soared recently and the margin between him and Barkley is thin. He leads FBS in rushing by a landslide with 1,387 yards with an amazing 10.3 yards per carry. The Cardinal control the Pac-12 North which helps Love's chance. A trip to Oregon State could really help boost his stats.
Up next: Oregon State
3 Jonathan Taylor- RB- Wisconsin
One of the main reasons the Badgers have ran through there schedule without a punch has been Jonathan Taylor. Wisconsin has not been great, but Taylor has certainly shined so far. This Freshman has led the currently undefeated Badgers with 1,112 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns.
Up next: Illinois
4 Baker Mayfield- QB- Oklahoma
Mayfield has looked great all season. Even in the shocking loss to Iowa State, Mayfield posted strong numbers going 24 for 33 with 306 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, it is important that he keeps his team in the Playoff race as it is clear the running backs are taking over.
Up next: Texas Tech
5 Josh Adams- RB- Notre Dame
Adams had been posting great numbers all season but has been flying under the radar with the other running backs mentioned here. This was until USC came to town. Adams rushed for 191 yards with 3 touchdowns proving that the Irish are a College Playoff Contender with a beatdown of USC.
Up next: NC State
Next 5
