The major move forward behind the two leaders for Fields comes after the junior was third on just one ballot last week.
Lawrence remains on top with 57 points and 15 first-place mentions, but Jones closed the gap to 12 points while getting six firsts. Lawrence added two touchdown passes on Saturday against Syracuse to bring his season total to 17, though he did have the first interception return for a touchdown of his career.
Jones had a solid outing at Tennessee with 387 passing yards despite losing one of his best weapons, Jaylen Waddle, to a serious ankle injury on the opening kickoff.
Brigham Young quarterback Zach Wilson is fourth in the survey this week with a first-place mention.
Only two other players received votes for a total of six, down from 12 a week ago.
