Following Week 3’s thrilling slate of games, ESPN’s Heisman Watch experienced a good bit of shuffling — especially at the top.

Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray led the updated list released Tuesday, followed by Alabama signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa. Both players received a combined six first- and second-place votes from ESPN’s 10-person Experts’ Poll, though Murray garnered four first-place votes to Tagovailoa’s three.

Georgia receiver/returner Mecole Hardman was the only other SEC representative on the 11-player list. He made his debut on the list with one fourth-place vote after scoring two total touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ blowout of Middle Tennessee State.

Missouri quarterback Drew Lock dropped off the list despite throwing for 375 yards and three scores in Missouri’s 40-37 win at Purdue.
