Picking sleepers in the Heisman race (sleeper being anybody not named Bradford, Tebow, or McCoy), two guys picked Pryor, one went with Jonathan Dwyer of Ga Tech, and another selected Zac Robinson of Okla St.

Seems as though he has Masoli a little low. Clausen/Barkley/Brown don't seem to have any real reason to be ranked over him, given his performances last year.

With Beanie Wells gone, it's all Pryor now. He'll need some crazy statistical games to win the Heisman, but is definitely someone to watch.

Top 10 Heisman Favorites and Their Respetive Odds To Win The Heisman Throphy in 2009: 1. QB Tim Tebow +200 ? Florida Gators The Tim Tebow promise after the Gators loss to the Ole Miss last year was one of the captivating moments of the year in college football. The Gators lived up to that promise playing harder than any football team in America crushing opponents in the SEC like no team in history. Tim Tebow already won the Heisman Trophy in his sophomore campaign, but could he add another to the trophy case along side the two National Championship Trophies? Tebow?s ability to pound short yards on the ground in goal line situations make him an even better threat to put up Heisman numbers considering the touchdowns will come in abundance. However, Tebow arm does not get the credit it rightfully deserves. Tebow has completed 65% of his passes throughout his career in Gainesville and also sported the 4th best quarterback rating (172.37) in the NCAA in 2008. Florida will not only be the big favorites in the country this season, but they are catching the SEC East division in a year where they are really down in terms of talent compared to years past. Losing playmaker Percy Harvin may hurt the homerun threat, but there are plenty of talented wide outs ready to step to the plate. If the Gators offense can start from where they left in 2008, then Tebow could put up some freakishly strong numbers against the best defenses in America. 2. QB Sam Bradford +250 ? Oklahoma Sooners Sam Bradford led the Oklahoma Sooners to one of the strongest offensive showings by a team in recent memory last year. Bradford and the rest of the offense set an NCAA record by recording 5 straight games of 60 or more points. Those ridiculous numbers led to Bradford compiling 4,720 yards and even more impressively 50 touchdowns on the season. While many will try to downplay the Sooners offense in reference to the weak defenses of the Big 12, it still amazing anytime you put those types of numbers playing in one of biggest conferences in America. Bradford also led the nation with a 180.84 quarterback rating and capped off the huge year by winning the Heisman Trophy. Can Bradford become the 1st player since Archie Griffin (Ohio State 1974&1975) to win the Heisman Trophy back to back? The Sooners lost primary target Juaquin Iglesias, but they get the likely the best tight end in the country back in Jermaine Gresham. However, the wide outs will rely on unproven talent to step up to aid Bradford in the air attack. Big numbers should not be a problem for Bradford in 2009, but topping last year?s stats could be difficult. 3. QB Colt McCoy +275 ? Texas Longhorns Colt McCoy is the first player on our list not to be a previous Heisman Trophy Winner. However, McCoy?s numbers from 2008 were very deserving of that honor. McCoy led the Longhorns to a brilliant season and many feel if not for the ?flawless? BCS standings the Longhorns would have been playing for the National Title. On the season, McCoy led the Texas offense racking up 3,859 yards through the air with 34 touchdowns. McCoy also rushed for another 541 yards which led the Texas rushing attack adding another 11 touchdowns on the season. The senior quarterback could be a good pick this year considering the Longhorns are slight favorites to come out on top in the Big 12 this season. However, McCoy lost some talented receivers a lot like their nemesis in Oklahoma. Texas did catch a big break when WR Jordan Shipley was granted another year of eligibility and he will definitely be the primary target for their dangerous offense. Having Shipley return to the offense, gives promising hope to the Longhorns air attack behind McCoy and should allow the Texas quarterback to put up some big numbers once again. 4. QB Terrelle Pryor +800 ? Ohio State Buckeyes Terrelle Pryor if you can recall was the enormous recruit sought after by so many of the nations top schools that actually needed more time after National Signing Day to decide his college destination. Well, usually those players fail to impress after so much hype. However, Pryor really could be among the very best in the nation just in his sophomore season. Last year as a freshman, Pryor could pick a part defenses at will with his feet. Pryor actually at times seemed to favor tucking the ball and running instead of throwing to pick up yard. The freshman carried the ball 139 times picking up 4.5 yards a carry to total 631 yards on the season behind center. Pryor threw for just 1,311 yards and 12 touchdowns despite using his legs more times than not. However, if the star studded sophomore can make his arm a bigger weapon this season it could be deadly for the Buckeyes offense. Defenses already had trouble stopping Pryor from escaping out of the backfield. If he can add a considerable threat with his arm, then the Ohio State quarterback could be unstoppable.

Just a little dark horse to throw out there... I could see Dan Lefevour having a shot to win it or at least be a finalist. I think we (since i go to CMU) should be able to beat Arizona, I honestly think we have a great chance to beat Sparty
 . Obvisouly we would need to then run the table, I think it's manageable. Lefevour will need to stay injury free as well. Ya never know... Fire up Chips!!!

The price they pay....
College Stars Run for Cover From Fans? Cameras
While shopping recently at RadioShack, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was approached by a woman with a seemingly innocuous request to take a picture with him. But an instant before her mother snapped the photo with a cellphone camera, the woman tried to take off her shirt. ?It?s happened four or five times,? Tebow said with a sigh. ?Most of the time I just dive out of the picture. Some people can just be crazy.? In the era of Twitter, Facebook and Deadspin.com, being the big man on campus no longer means being the life of the party. For all the images of marching bands, cheerleaders and raucous student fans associated with college football, the romantic notion of a quaint campus life for star quarterbacks like Tebow, Oklahoma?s Sam Bradford and Texas? Colt McCoy has all but disappeared, killed off by a combination of cloying fans and new technology. . . . continued Entire article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/17/sp...7colleges.html I don't feel a bit sorry for them.

1. Colt McCoy 2. Jahvid Best Rushing attempts: 53 Yards: 412 Average: 7.8 Rushing TDs: 8 Passes caught: 7 Yardage: 59 Average: 8.4 Receiving TDs: 1 Yeah, I know it is only after three games; however, Cal did play 2 BCS schools (Maryland & Minnesota). 3. Tim Tebow
