Bleacher Report

The games are played for a reason. Week 13 of the college football season provided multiple examples as to why, but they start with the trending prospects that the Bleacher Report Scouting Department identified. On paper, the Ohio State Buckeyes hosting the Indiana Hoosiers looked like the biggest matchup of the regular season. But it turns out the Buckeyes are just too talented, with the Ohio State defense dominating the Hoosiers' previously high-flying offense. From an individual perspective, a week can change everything. A week ago, Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart showed a level of grit and tenacity that earned well-deserved praise. Against the Florida Gators this past weekend, the nation's third-leading passer completely melted down. Then, there's someone like Alabama's Jalen Milroe, whose ups and downs this season are akin to a group of 12-year-olds at an extreme trampoline park. Everything must be evaluated, taken into context and adjusted as the B/R's scouts—Brandon Thorn, Cory Giddings, Dame Parson and Matt Holder—continue through the 2025 draft cycle. Those evolving evaluations are then reflected in this weeks' top-10 mock draft, where the Las Vegas Raiders didn't go bargain shopping on Black Friday.
