Heisman Watch: Post-Week 2

No change in the top, but I move in some preseason favorites.

Last weeks ranking in parentheses.

1. DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal. (1) Jackson maintains the top spot because he keeps making big plays. Jackson took a reverse 73 yards to the house in Cal's 34-28 win over Colorado St. on Saturday. So far, he has 9 rec for 84 yards and 3 rushes for 99 yards. Expect another dynamite play against La. Tech's siv defense this week.
2. Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas. (2) Can't drop McFadden for a week off. 151 yds rushing for a TD and threw a 42-yd TD against Troy, but big test is this week at 'bama.Check out this site for more McFadden hype.
3. Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia.(NR) Slaton gets his annual crack at the team that didn't want him on Thursday. Last year against Maryland he rushed for 195 and 2 TDs.Expect his to make the Terps D pay. Here's a Steve Slaton hype site. So far he has racked up 255 yards on the ground and 6 overall TDs
4. Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii. (NR) The Rainbows could go undefeated this year, but may have lost Saturday without Brennan. In Hawaii's gun-slinging offense, Brennan has posted mind-boggling number, completing 76 percent of his passes for 964 yards and 10 TDs. Should face his toughest opponent yet this Saturday against UNLV.
5. Kevin Smith, RB, C. Florida. (5) 217 yds, 2 TD in upset win over N.C. State two weeks ago, but will have a bigger chance to show his skills against Texas on Saturday.
