Heisman Watch

Alright, I've been doing a shitty job lately of keeping up with my Heisman list. For that I apologize. You guys just don't understand how much it pains me that I have been depriving you of the genius that is me. Don't worry, I'm back and ready to sway the voters.


1. Graham Harrell - Texas Tech QB

Season Stats
332-463 4,077 yards 36 tds 5 ints

Harrell maintains the top spot on this week's list. If you subscribe to the theory that the QB from the best team should win this award, then this is the guy for you. Coincidentally, Harrell is also climbing the ranks of my ultimate douchebag list. I hope he gets invited to New York only to lose, so he can pout and complain just like he does whenever a defensive linemen brushes against him right after he throws the ball. What a Bitch.....





2. Colt McCoy - Texas QB

Season Stats
Passing
244-313 2,879 yards 28 tds 7 ints
Rushing
101 449 yards 7 tds

McCoy continues to remain near the top of my list because he continues to play like Tebow did last year. Since McCoy lost the head-to-head match up with Harrell, he probably has to hope for Harrell to completely shit himself so that he can win this award. It's amazing what McCoy has done with almost no running game whatsoever to support him.





3. Sam Bradford - Oklahoma QB

Season Stats
224-330 3,406 yards 38 tds 6 ints

Bradford is still playing at an extremely superior level compared to most other quarterbacks. The guy is a machine behind center. Fortunately for him, he still has a game against Texas Tech to prove what he's got. If Bradford goes off against the Red Raiders, look for him to vault back to the top spot of this most prestigious list.





4. Tim Tebow- Florida QB

Season Stats

Passing
126-194 1,740 yards 17 tds 2 ints
Rushing
105 354 yards 10 tds


Timmy is slowly climbing his way back up this list. Mainly due to the fact that Tebow is playing a lot like Colt McCoy lately. Getting to double-digit rushing touchdowns helps Tebow's cause as well. If he can come close to his 7 touchdown performance of last year against the 'Cocks, Timmy should be right in line for an invite to NYC.





5. Javon Ringer- Michigan St. RB

Season Stats
353 1,548 yards 20 tds

Ringer is the perennial Big Eleven tailback that always seems to be in the Heisman discussions every year. Ringer put in a stellar performance in an otherwise painfully boring game against Purdue last week. I thought I was watching a replay of Michigan St./Purdue from 1972 on the Big Eleven Network. Ringer isn't getting nearly the amount of pub he deserves right now. A Big Eleven title might change that......





The Next Five:

  1. Dez Bryant Oklahoma St. WR
  2. Michael Crabtree Texas Tech WR
  3. Chase Clement Rice QB
  4. Jarett Dillard Rice WR
  5. Nate Davis Ball St. QB

Oh, Tim is a lock for an invite to New York.

There will be a ton of voters who have them somewhere on their ballot, almost regardless of how the rest of the season shakes out.

A lot of the voters are lazy, and they already know his name. There's also plenty who are treating it like a boxing thing 'you've got to take it from the champ'. I'm not sure if those people have votes or not, but either way, the buzz will almost assure he gets enough votes to be invited to NYC.

Yeah, a lot of people are gonna take that "unseating the champ" mentality.

Plus, Tebow has to be there as a former winner.
