Heisman Watch: Joe Burrow is still the one to beat

Joe Burrow's record-setting Week 8 performance keeps him atop the list this week, with Jalen Hurts close behind.

Throughout the season, ESPN.com writers will vote on their top Heisman candidates.

To get the final rankings, we use the following methodology: 10 voters, five votes each. Points system: five points for first-place votes, four points for second-place votes, three points for third-place votes, two points for fourth-place votes and one point for fifth-place votes.

Voters: Andrea Adelson, Edward Aschoff, Kyle Bonagura, Bill Connelly, Heather Dinich, David M. Hale, Chris Low, Ivan Maisel, Adam Rittenberg, Mark Schlabach

Total points: 46 (first-place votes: 7)

Notable: Saturday's win over Mississippi State was a record-setting one for Burrow, who set the LSU single-season passing touchdown mark when he tossed his 29th.
