Heisman Rankings

[Zimmer4141]

Because there is no 1 runaway candidate this year (read: top candidates sucking i.e. Matt Ryan against Florida St.) I think a case can be made for any number of candidates at this point. Here's my top 5 right now.

1. Dennis Dixon Passing: 2,074 YDS | 20 TD 3 INT | 67.9 CMP%Rushing: 549 YDS | 8 TD.

2. Tim Tebow Passing: 2,228 YDS | 21 TD 4 INT | 67.7 CMP%Rushing: 598 YDS | 14 TD

Arguably a better statline than Dixon, but team having 3 losses is going to hurt. Tebow will have to put up some huge numbers in the rest of the season to have a chance.

3. Matt Ryan Passing: 2,841 YDS | 21 TD 11 INT | 59.5 CMP%Rushing: 35 YDS | 1 TD

Two very unimpressive National TV performances these past 2 weeks. He has far too many INTs to be a Heisman Candidate, and BC has been generally unimpressive as well.

4. Mike Hart 215 ATT | 1,196 YDS | 12 TD 5.6 AVG | 61 LNG 7 REC | 43 YDS | 0 TD

There is no doubt in my mind that if Mike Hart stayed healthy for the entire year he would be the frontrunner right now. As is he had 118 yards on 15 carries against MSU, and missed half of the game.

5. I have no idea. I don't think Pat White has been impressive enough to get in the running. I don't think Glenn Dorsey has made enough of a case for himself either. Darren McFadden would probably be my #5 right now, but he had 2 games where he was completely shutdown, and I'm not that impressed by 335 yards against a bad SC run defense.

Feel free to critique/add your own lists.

My top 5:

1. Tim Tebow, QB, UF
2. Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
3. Mike Hart, RB, Michigan
4. Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
5. Dennis Dixon, QB, Oregon

IMO, Brohm gets it. Tebow gets the shaft because he's a sophomore.

nobody stands out...id give it to who i feel is the best player...i think its clearly mike hart...and i hate michigan

[luckybacon]

man i just dont see any reason you could ever put Hart over Mcfadden. I mean Mcfadden has been struggling with injuries- had a concussion etc but he goes out there and plays when he is not near 100 percent.

That being said I dont mind ur other rankings really b/c i think they are probably what are in most peoples mind right now.

Also, I have extreme bias b/c i live in arkansas and I dont think Mike Hart is as great as a lot of people do. i could think of other runing backs such as Jonathan stewart or steve slaton

No way Laruinaits or Long gets the award. Ever. Not even close.

MY. MY. MY MY MY.

I could care less about projecting who a bunch of media types and former players who barely even watch football are likely to vote for.

come on man you cant have felix ahead of darren. The reason felix is so good is because of darren. If he was the lone featured back there is no way hed be getting 10 yards a carry.

and to the guy who said Mike hart is best running back is just hilarious. I guess most people think Hart is a top 5 back but no way is he the best player or best back
