Last week’s race was a tight one, and this week it is not much different. All of the candidates that were there last week, are here again this week. It was a tough week in college football, the last two number one teams in the BCS went down and made room for others to come in. I thought for sure it would go to Boise State, then Oregon, and then Oklahoma. I was wrong, that is why I am not a panelist for this. Oklahoma took the top spot and Boise State and Oregon stayed put and two and three.
Kellen Moore had a big game last week. Completing nearly 90% of his passes, the senior quarterback threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns. He is improving is rankings in the Heisman race every single week. He is going out there and doing exceptional, and on top of that he is barely making any mistakes. Moore is going to be a tough one to pick, but he has Boise State at the number three spot and they could may well be at the number one ranking soon.
Terrelle Pryor, the man I have been high on all year, has hurt his ranking. He had Ohio State at the number one spot this week, only to fall to Wisconsin. He completed only half of his passes in the loss and accounted for less than 200 yards of offense. He turned a lot of heads with this performance, but he is still number two in my books as of now.
LaMichael James did not hurt his position this week because he had an off week, we will see when they play UCLA. James is leading the nation with 169 yards a game.
Cameron Newton is someone that I am not too high on, but he should get some recognition. Newton lead Auburn to a win over SEC rival Arkansas. The quarterback passed for 140 yards, but ran for 188 with four total touchdowns. This kid has some talent, let’s see if he can keep it up when it comes to that LSU defense.
