Heisman Watch

Only one player who was in my Top 5 last week played for a winning team, so I have another shake-up this week. Honestly, this has to be one of the most wide open races I can recall in recent years. I moved Michael Crabtree to the top of my ballot on numbers, but I don't know if he has a great chance. He's a freshman and plays for a team that has always scored points, meaning the credit goes to Coach Leach's system.
(Last week's rank)
1. Micahel Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech (3). Sick raw numbers. In seven games he's caught 78 passes for 1,244 yards and 17 TDs. By the way, this is his first year playing receiver.
2. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida (NR). He's a media favorite and gets the chance to play in a lot of high-profile games. So far he's posted great numbers, completing 65.5 percent of his passes with 13/3 for a 173.1 passer rating. He's also rushed for 500 yards and 9 TDs.
3. Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illnois (2). Slowed by Iowa D but got just 15 carries in loss. Still has posted 839 rushing yards for a 6.5 avg. and 10 TD.
4. Jordy Nelson, WR, Kansas State (NR). Mr. Everything for upstart K-State. 56 catches for 727 yards and 3 TDs. Has also thrown two TDs and has returned 4 punts for 172 yards, including a TD in blowout win at Texas.
5. Mike Hart, RB, Michigan (NR). Campaign was buried after an 0-2 start, but leads the nation in yards (1,078) and 100-yard games (7). Has a shot if Michigan keeps winning.
