10 weeks into college football and award talk is starting to get serious. The regular season is almost over, and it is time to start thinking about who is a serious candidate for the Heisman and what team's have a strong chance to make a run in the college football playoffs. Below are my top five candidates for the Heisman Trophy Award. If nothing else, pay attention to these names and players as the season gets into its final weeks.

Tua Tagovalia

Tua Tagovailia (QB) Alabama

Tua has found himself in a good spot leading the Heisman race according to many experts and leading Alabama to another SEC West title and a (9-0) start. Tua had a lesser game this past weekend (25-42 295 passing yards 3 TD's (2 passing 1 Rushing) and 1 interception) but was able to lead Alabama to a win over number 3 Louisiana State University. No SEC quarterback has passed for more than 200 yards against LSU this season, and Tua was able to throw over 200 in the first half alone. Tua now has a total of 30 TD's (27 passing 3 rushing) and 1 turnover this season which came in the 29-0 win over LSU. Alabama has 2 ranked rivals to beat before facing Georgia in the SEC championship game. They should be able to make it to the playoffs once again with possibly a Heisman winner this season.

Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray (QB) Oklahoma

Murray and Oklahoma found himself in a shootout this past weekend edging rival Texas Tech by a score of (51-46). Murray put up 4 TDs (3 passing 1 rushing 360 passing yards 100 rushing yards) in the win, but on the not so good side, he threw 2 interceptions overall. He has impressed a lot of people this season putting up 38 TDs this season (31 passing 7 Rushing). The junior only has 5 interceptions this season and has over 500 rushing yards Oklahoma has 1 loss so winning is of high importance if they would like to see the postseason. The replacement for Baker has more than established himself as a legitimate QB and a Heisman contender not just a successor to the last Heisman Winner. The next really big game for Murray should come November 23rd against West Virginia.

Will Grier

Will Grier (QB) West Virginia

West Virginia QB, Will Grier survived a shootout against Texas this past week as they couldn't afford another loss after falling to Iowa State. A few weeks ago his team was down by 7 with less than a minute to go when they threw a 33-yard prayer for a TD then Will Grier ran it in for the 2 point conversion to pretty much seal the victory (42-41). The interception number is higher than he probably wants (7) which still isn't that hard and is actually the Rank that West Virginia now is in the AP Poll. Grier will be looking to find himself in a playoff spot as the season dwindles down. As a whole Grier looks like a pretty good Quarterback and should stay up in the Heisman race and have a good draft profile considering he will most likely head to the NFL after this season. Grier has a total of 29 TD's on the season (28 passing, 1 rushing).

Dwayne Haskins

Dwayne Haskins (QB) Ohio St

Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins managed to win this past week against a pretty bad Nebraska team who is (2-7) on the year. Ohio State had a mediocre performance and beat them (36-31). While Ohio State isn't looking as good and coming from a poor loss to Purdue, Haskins has continued to put up good numbers. If Ohio State is able to win out they could find themselves in a really good spot.... like a playoff spot. Their biggest game should come against number 5, Michigan (Nov. 24) who is coming off a 42-7 win over a ranked Penn State. Haskins has 33 TD's on the season. Much of his success has been through the air. If not anything else the sophomore should have success as the next season comes.

Mackenzie Milton

Mackenzie Milton (QB) Central Florida

https://www.instagram.com/p/BoAXKgDn5oS/?hl=en

Milton the Standout QB at the University of Central Florida led the Knights to a "National Championship" last year. This year the Knight's have looked just as impressive although the competition hasn't really been there. Milton has accounted for a total of 26 TDs (19 Passing 7 Rushing). This season he has over 200 rushing yards and has continued to look poised in and out of the pocket. Milton's toughest regular season contest could be this weekend against the Navy or towards the end of the against Cincinnati (8-1) or University of South Florida (7-2). Milton stayed calm as UCF sneaked past rival Temple this past week in a (52-40) win because for a second it looked like Central Florida would face their first loss. UCF has a pretty good chance of reaming undefeated as they continue their 22 game winning streak, but many think UCF won't be able to reach the playoffs due to strength of schedule.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
