Week 11 of the college football season was filled with upsets that impacted playoff and conference races. It should come as no surprise, then, that our Players of the Week reflected the biggest games from Saturday.

Our National Player of the Week selection played a huge part in Southern California's win over Washington to make the Pac-12's place in the College Football Playoff race more interesting. The Trojans have been one of the most improved team from September and could even be the best team in the Pac-12 at the moment.

Meanwhile, the SEC had two outstanding players. One helped Alabama secure the West Division while the other led a come-from-behind victory in his first start.

National Player of the Week

Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC: The Trojans beat Washington by dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, but Jackson came through with two key interceptions, including one that sealed the victory. Jackson is one of the better cover corners in college football because of his athleticism and speed, but even he got burned by Huskies receiver John Ross earlier in the game. As all great players do, however, he rebounded and made an outstanding individual play when his team needed it most. As for allowing Ross' touchdown, Jackson couldn't help but laugh at himself on Twitter.

SEC Player of the Week

Jalen Hurts, QB, Alabama: So much for an Alabama letdown against Mississippi State. Hurts has been excellent all year and put up 447 yards and recorded five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) in an easy 51-3 victory. The opponent wasn't the strongest, but this was arguably Hurts' most complete game -- and with a banged-up backfield, no less. It was an important win, too. With Auburn's loss to Georgia, the Crimson Tide have secured the SEC West and can essentially coast for the next two weeks leading up to the SEC Championship Game if they really wanted. (Not that coach Nick Saban would allow that, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Tide rested many of their star players for the second half in each game.)

Freshman Player of the Week

Shea Patterson, QB, Ole Miss: How did Ole Miss' quarterback of the future do in his first start? Oh, you know, he just led a come-from-behind victory on the road at Texas A&M. Thrust into duty because of a season-ending knee injury to Chad Kelly, Patterson, true freshman, threw for 338 yards and a pair of scores. He visibly got more comfortable as the game went on, making crucial play after crucial play. With time running out, he led the Rebels on the winning drive.
