It's refreshing to see a list without Tebow or McCoy.

3. C.J. Spiller, Clemson, RB, Sr.
Last week: 22 rushes, 165 yards, 1 TD; 3 receptions, 67 yards, 1 TD; 1 punt return, 9 yards; 3 kickoff returns, 71 yards in a 40-24 victory against Florida State
Season: 135 rushes, 739 yards, 5 TDs; 21 receptions, 334 yards, 3 TDs; 6 punt returns, 191 yards, 1 TD; 15 kickoff returns, 530 yards, 3 TDs; 0-of-1 passing
Heisman-o-meter: After he capped the Tigers' victory with a high-stepping five-yard touchdown run, Spiller struck a Heisman pose. "A baby, a mini one," he called it after the game. With that performance on Saturday night, he is right in the thick of this Heisman logjam. He set a career high in rushing yards (it helped that he got the ball as a runner 22 times, second most of his career) and again was a big-play threat. He showed his speed to the outside on a 45-yard run, easily out-ran a linebacker on his 58-yard TD reception and had another 35-yard run that could've gone for much longer had he not pulled up lame. If the Heisman went to the nation's most exciting player, Spiller would have it locked up.

Two years ago, I thought that Spiller was going to be a legit Heisman candidate before he graduated. I'm glad to see that he's getting some consideration this year.
