Kellen Moore is at the top of many leaderboards, including mine.  Moore has demonstrated what it takes to be a winner.  He has his Broncos currently unbeaten and ranked in the top five of the nation, according to the AP Poll.  In his last game Saturday, Moore completed over 70% of his passes for over 250 yards.  With the three touchdowns he threw, he now has fourteen for the season and only one interception. A fourteen to one ratio is impressive and in every game this year he has at least two passing touchdowns.
Terrelle Pryor has stumbled and fell down the rankings, but he has kept his statistics up.  He has a completion percentage 68% on the season.  He has fifteen touchdowns with three interceptions.  He has his team at a higher ranking right now, but that could all change.  Ultimately it will come down to who leads their team where and how.  Most Heisman winners have been on teams that have won or competed for a National Title.  Both quarterbacks have about the same passing yards and touchdowns, so it will depend on the surrounding crew that each player has.
The third man on the ballot this week is LaMichael James.  James missed the first game of the year due to an injury.  Now he is firing at all cylinders.  He has 850 rushing yards on the year and 100 receiving yards.  James has 10 touchdowns as well which is a big part in why Oregon is the number three team in the country,  His outstanding play and his role on the team has helped them get to where they are in the AP Poll.  James will have to keep playing well if he wants a shot at greatness.
