But if the vote were held today, the Heisman voters would cast countless times as many votes for Berry as Moore, simply based on hype.

He's had two decent games against pathetic opposition. If the season stopped today that would be enough for him to have won the Heisman? And Eric Berry ahead of UCLA's Rahim Moore in the same list? I dare you to justify that one! I understand your main Heisman Watch list, so I have no complaints with that, but I don't agree with the second list at all.

Inspite of the facts, those below will just have to wait. I agree with most…. when the love child(ren) of the big 3 graduate, there’ll be room for more.

So that's why he's on the list. Rodgers just doesn't have a shot as he is a sophomore and from Oregon State.

He had a few good plays at the end of the game--that's it. What about the Rogers kid from the Beavers? He played well this week. Any shot for him? I think I would have dropped McKnight off the list.
