Top 5 Heisman Candidates
5. Jeremiah Masoli, QB, Oregon: Masoli really hasn’t garnered a lot of attention but he’s done a great job running the spread for Oregon and is a dynamic player but he’s a distant fifth to the remaining four candidates.
4. Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama: Ingram was #1 on this list last week, but after his poor performance in the Iron Bowl he plummeted. Also if you compare his numbers to that of Iowa’s Shonn Greene last year, you’ll see that Ingram’s numbers aren’t all that impressive for a Heisman contender.
3. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida: I don’t know if you heard but Tebow played his final game in The Swamp this past Saturday. He was incredible against Florida State, accounting for 5 touchdowns, but I still don’t think he’ll win it this year.
2. Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford: Simply put, Gerhart is a semi-truck with legs. He just runs over defenders and is putting up just gaudy numbers while not being the prototypical running back for a major college program and being the main offensive weapon.
1. Colt McCoy, QB, Texas: He played his way into the first spot on this list. He ran and passed his way to over 400 yards and accounted for 5 TDs in Texas’ game against Texas A & M. It’s his award to lose in my opinion.
BCS Bowl Projections
National Championship: Florida – Texas
Rose Bowl: Ohio State – Oregon
Fiesta Bowl: Iowa – Boise State
Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech – Cincinnati
Sugar Bowl: Alabama – TCU
Boise State and the Big Ten can thank Oklahoma for routing Oklahoma State this past weekend. Okie State’s loss virtually ensures that Boise State will go to a BCS Bowl as well as getting a second Big Ten team into the BCS. As far as the Big Ten selection I think it has to be Iowa, they beat Penn State in Happy Valley and if the BCS execs pick Penn State over Iowa then the system becomes even more flawed and the need for a playoff becomes even more glaring.
