A Heisman Trophy race that once seemed already gifted to Leonard Fournette is competitive again, with a pair of running backs fighting at the top of TexAgs' resident voter's rankings. Meanwhile, the list of potential title contenders continues to thin.

On Sept. 26 Texas A&M defeated Arkansas to raise its record to 4-0; the Razorbacks, on the other hand, dropped to 1-3. Since then Arkansas gone 5-1, while the Aggies have floundered. Meanwhile, running backs are still the story elsewhere in the SEC.

Who is the second-best team in the SEC? At this point, does it even matter? The winds are shifting across the nation, with the College Football Playoff seemingly open to several scenarios. Meanwhile, one man widened his lead in the Heisman rankings by TexAgs' resident voter.

It was a wild weekend in college football, one that saw more structure added to the playoff picture — and the SEC West race. Most notably, TexAgs' resident Heisman voter opines, the trophy could once again be up for grabs.

Elite talent on both sides of the ball characterizes a matchup in which many can single-handedly change the game. On a Kyle Field that will be littered with stars, Saturday's contest will come down to which playmakers ... make plays.

A long look in the mirror and a long period of work and reflection await the Aggies, who returned to College Station humiliated by the Tide. Overhauls must be made before the present situation becomes untenable.
