What happened: Kamario Taylor leads Robert Griffin III's Week 3 top five, followed by Trinidad Chambliss and Darian Mensah. Malachi Toney and Nate Sheppard complete the list as the lone wide receiver and running back.

Why it matters: Early top fives shape the Heisman conversation before October conference play sorts contenders. Two Miami names in the group puts the early spotlight on the Hurricanes' offense entering Week 4.

What to watch: Week 4 performances will determine whether the order holds.
