Heisman Watch

The race is coming down to the wire now. There are players that are making stronger and stronger cases for themselves. On the flip side, there are a few former Heisman wannabes that are nowhere near the discussion anymore.

I'm working on this post while I'm watching the Georgia Tech v. Miami game. I'm thinking Josh Nesbitt wants to be on this here list. The guy is gutsy. Reminds me of Byron Leftwich at Marshall a few years back.



1. Graham Harrell - Texas Tech QB

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


Harrell and the Red Raiders took last week off. Having a bye week is pretty much the only way this guy can be slowed down. Harrell should put up some pretty big numbers against a porous Sooner D this weekend. However, it all comes down to the W for Harrell on Saturday. I don't see him winning the Heisman with a loss.





2. Colt McCoy - Texas QB

Season Totals
Passing
268-347 3,134 yards 30 tds 7 ints
Rushing
117 527 yards 8 tds

McCoy had a decent day against Kansas last week. Once again, Colt was extremely on point, going 24 for 34 with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. TAMU always plays Texas tough, but McCoy should have a field day both rushing and passing on Saturday.




3. Tim Tebow - Florida QB

Season Totals
Passing
139-214 1,913 yards 19 tds 2 ints
Rushing
119 393 yards 11 tds


Tebow has his Gators playing better than any team in the nation right now. The fact that Timmy has 30 total touchdowns with only 2 interceptions cannot be ignored. Tebow knows how to take care of the football. As I've said before, being the reigning Heisman winner will probably buy Tebow a few extra votes.




4. Sam Bradford - Oklahoma QB

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

Much like Harrell, Bradford enjoyed his bye week, as he gets prepared for the monumental showdown this Saturday. Also, much like Harrell, I believe that Bradford will be knocked out of the Heisman race with a loss. Bradford did give one hell of an interview during College Gameday, so extra bonus points for him.




5. Javon Ringer - Michigan St. RB

Season Totals
353 1,548 yards 20 tds

Ringer continues to carry the Spartans on his back. Javon's two touchdowns were the difference in Sparty's victory over Purdue. Unfortunately for Ringer, the rest of his team will need to play a thousand times better this week if they want to pull off the upset against Penn St. Michigan St. is still in Big Eleven title contention. If they can miraculously pull this one out, Ringer is basically a shoe-in for a NYC invite.





The Next Five:

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