Heisman Watch

I am so glad Jevon Snead from Ole Miss is dropping down the list, way down, for some Heisman Hype. I've watched him play a few times this season and he has not been impressive as far as I am concerned. The finishing touch was last night against an un-ranked South Carolina squad. He threw for 107 yards. I'll repeat 107 yards. This is not how a Heisman hopeful performs in front of a national television audience. It's over for Snead and the Heisman talk.


HOT

Jahvid Best (Cal). He is the front runner as of today in the minds of the mainstream media. Cal is winning and after his 5 touchdown game last week against Minnesota it is hard to argue but I will.

The leader in my mind is Jacory Harris of Miami. I will not bore you with the statistics but I will say this, he has lead his team to victory of a ranked FSU squad on the road, a victory over a ranked Gerogia Tech team and now leads them to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies. The sophomore is on fire and he will have a big day day at Lane Stadium and lead the Canes to a third straight victory over a ranked team, vault the "U" into the top 5 and give the Canes the upper hand in the Coastal Division of the ACC starting 3-0. Harris has come out of the box hitting on all 8-cylinders and I do not believe the Hokies will stop him Saturday.

IN THE HUNT

Tim Tebow (Florida) - Will need that big standout memorable victory to vault him to the front of the line. Plenty of games left to pull it off as the season is still early.

Colt McCoy (Texas) - Beating Texas Tech helped but will do nothing for McCoy's Heisman hopes if the Longhorns do not play in the Big 12 Championship game. Just like Tebow needs that big win against a marquee game to help him out. Think Oklahoma.

Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) - I say Bradford is in the hunt just because he has won already and has been out injured. When Bradford does come back he will need to put up some big numbers and win some big games to repeat. One thing that will hurt him is having his back-up putting up some big numbers. This will show that it may be the system and not the player.

Kez Bryant (Oklahoma State) - Still in the hunt but on the outside fringe. He was on the fringe to start and a loss to Houston didn't help.

Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame) - The loss to Michigan hurts but has a chance to redeem himself against USC. Not a tough schedule for the Domers but they must win out for Clausen to even be thought about for a trip to New York.

TOAST (NOT EVEN A CONSIDERATION)

Max Hall (BYU)- Loss to FSU ended the chase for him
Jevan Snead (Ole Miss) - Way too much hype to begin with. Mel Kiper Jr.though is in love with this QB.
