Heisman hopefuls and All-Americans
By - SportingNews
HEISMAN WATCH
This year's top candidates:
RB Reggie Bush, Jr., USC. He is the nation's most exciting player -- but shares a backfield with the 2004 winner.
WR/KR Ted Ginn, So., Ohio State. This thrill-a-minute flash is the best player in the Big Ten.
QB Matt Leinart, Sr., USC. He has two national titles and one Heisman already in the bag.
RB Adrian Peterson, So., Oklahoma. His chances could be hurt by a supporting cast that isn't as experienced as last season's.
RB Gerald Riggs, Sr., Tennessee. This powerful back could reach 2,000 yards running behind an experienced line. --Matt Hayes

Don't know if I agree with the omission of Holmes and Carpenter. Also would have our WR's ranked somewhere in the top 5 units.
