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.
