The wacky world of the Heisman Trophy had more movement in store for us this week. While the top five remained unchanged, the top five shifted as Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow took center stage in high-profile matchups. Let’s look at how that movement played out in our week seven 2019 Heisman rankings.
Burrow was instrumental in LSU’s big home victory over Florida on Saturday and moved up to number two in the associated press national rankings just behind Alabama. Could we see a similar shakeout in this week’s poll? Now, let’s see how the shuffling finished in our week seven 2019 Heisman rankings.

QB | LSU Next Game: 10/19 at Mississippi State
Burrow makes the biggest jump in our poll moving from fourth to second. He had an outstanding game and showed why he was one of the best quarterbacks in the country in picking apart Florida’s defense. Burrow and the Tigers look to be on a collision course with Alabama in a few weeks. But, for now, they’ll face the reeling Mississippi State Bulldogs this weekend.

QB | Oklahoma Next Game: 10/19 vs West Virginia
Hurts had another up and down performance for the Sooners. The good was four total touchdowns and 367 yards from scrimmage against Texas on Saturday. But, the bad included two turnovers deep in Longhorns territory and nearly a third. It’s clear Oklahoma will not have to rely on the offense to put up astronomical numbers this year. However, Hurts will look to get back on track as West Virginia travels to Norman on Saturday.
