With all the early entry candidates announced, here’s how I see the Heisman race shaping up right now.  These are the guys who I think have the best chance to actually win the Heisman: 1.  Colt McCoy, Texas–He was last year’s Heisman runner up and was about 2 seconds away from winning it (before he [...]

This has been the most entertaining–and challenging–Heisman race to follow since I first started this site back in 2004. Making the final call has always been an easy one for me.  That was the case in 2004 , in 2005 , in 2006 and in 2007 .  I never went into the ceremony unsure of [...]

The top two are very close, but here’s how it would fall if the vote were held today: 1. Sam Bradford 2. Colt McCoy 3. Tim Tebow 4. Graham Harrell 5. Shonn Greene 6. Michael Crabtree 7. Jeremy Maclin 8. Javon Ringer 9. Andre Smith 10. LeSean McCoy Headed to New York: McCoy, Bradford, Tebow

So, last week didn’t decide the Heisman winner in the affirmative, but it did eliminate Graham Harrell from contention.  Sometimes it’s easier to figure out who is going to win by first figuring who isn’t going to win. Let’s take a quick look at the stats of the remaining candidates: Colt McCoy–268 of 347 (77.2 [...]

I see the quest for the Heisman as a two-man race between Graham Harrell of Texas Tech and Colt McCoy of Texas. Why not Sam Bradford of Oklahoma?  Because, all things being equal, he’s a sophomore and a sophomore can’t win the Heisman.  I know, Tebow won it last year as a soph, but Tebow [...]

With is six touchdown performance against Oklahoma State, Graham Harrell has moved into the lead on the HP Heisman Watch. However, Tech’s next game against Oklahoma on Nov. 22 will decide his fate. Win, and he likely wins the Heisman. Lose, and Colt McCoy will take it home. Either way, this will no longer be [...]

My belief in the past couple weeks that Colt McCoy was the only player left who could win the Heisman has been shaken a bit. Obviously, Graham Harrell has made his move and now has a chance to overtake the Longhorns quarterback. However, I still believe that for Harrell to win the Heisman, Tech has [...]

Colt McCoy is one game away from clinching the Heisman Trophy. Beat Texas Tech and it’s his. There is a little bit of a Graham Harrell boomlet going on, but it will not be enough to overtake McCoy. If Texas loses to Texas Tech, Harrell will be in the spotlight–briefely–but I think it is a [...]

We are a little over halfway through the season and yet we are very close to calling the race for Texas quarterback Colt McCoy . Obviously, a lot can happen.  Texas can lose a game or two.  McCoy could get hurt, or his play could fall off. But for now, it’s all Colt, all the [...]

Oh, my how this season is turning into a toughie to analyze.  I am sure that there are quite a few more twists and turns to go.   For now, here’s how I see it.  Remember, these are the guys with the best chance of actually winning : 1.  Colt McCoy, Texas– I thought McCoy would [...]
