Todd McShay's Top 3 Heisman Contenders

  • charliehustle14
    Spiller is tough. He's going to be huge at the next level. I look for him to have a Percy Harvin type impact as a rookie for whatever team he ends up with.

    Fail-Bring some numbers next time to back up that nonsense.

    As long as you're inserting Archie into the conversation, he could've easily won it his sophomore year as well. Might as well give it to him this year too if people are considering Tebow.

    1973
    John Cappelletti 1,522 yds 17 TD's Also played Defensive back
    Archie Griffin 1,577 yds 13 TD's

    1975
    Archie Griffin 1,357 yds 4TD's
    Chuck Muncie 1,477 yds 12 TD's
    Ricky Bell 1,875 yds 14 TD's

    Bell or Muncie should have won in '75 over Archie. It's not even really close

    How did this happen? Team success?

    I believe OSU went to their FB a majority of the time close to the goal line which took away Archie's TD total. He still carried the team which was a reason he was selected.

    Todd McShay knows as much about football as I do nuclear engineering.
  • se-alum
    I would love to see Spiller win it! He's a hell of a football player!!
  • George Costanza
    Lets be honest guys, Archie really didnt deserve the 2nd Heisman.
  • George Costanza
    Tebow had 317 total yards and 3 total TD's today in just over a half of action

    Ingram had 107 rushing yards and 2 TD's in a half of action today.

    Gerhart can really make an impact tonight on a national level with another monster game against CAL
  • BuckeyeBlue
    I would say the top 3 right now are probably Ingram, McCoy, and Spiller. All 3 have had very good seasons. Tebow definitely hasn't lived up to his last 2 seasons.
  • ironman02
    Gerhart had 20 rushes for 136 yards and 4TDs in a loss to Cal. Despite the loss, he made a huge statement in my opinion.

    Colt McCoy made a big move also...32-41 for 396 yards and 4 TDs.

    Atleast they were 1-A. Bama played a 1-AA

    After Today:

    1.Tim Tebow
    2.Colt McCoy
    3.Mark Ingrahm
    4.Toby Gerhart
    5.Kellen Moore
  • devil1197
    McCoy jumped into the lead today with his huge performance. 400+ total yards, 78% completion. Against a somewhat decent team unlike Florida and Bama.
  • jordo212000
    Everybody has played bad teams at one point or another in the season. Why is what Florida and Alabama did today discounted, but Texas playing Wyoming gets a pass now?

    Why is today any different?

    Because its getting later into the year imo and the later performances stay with the voters more I would think. If the voting ended today, I'd rather be playing a BCS conference opponent.

    Its basically setting up for a player to make the huge move come Conf. Championship time. McCoy, Tebow, Ingram, and Spiller will all be playing late in the season against good competition.

    I really don't see any difference. Not everybody has the same schedule and bye weeks. There's a chance that this was one of their few weeks for an out of conference team and everybody else is in conference, thus voila you end up playing a sacrificial lamb.
  • George Costanza
    Tebow, Gerhart and McCoy had the best games yesterday of the contenders at this point.

    There isn't any difference scheduling wise correct, but the voters will look at a later performance against a BCS school more closely than a performance against a crappy FIU team.

    I think it is pretty clear that people on here just really don't like the SEC and will grasp at any straws to discredit them.

    I actually like the SEC, Bama is my 2nd favorite team.

    But wouldn't you, as a Heisman candidate, want to play better competition later in the year? Its only logical that voters remember the latest games in the year? Every team plays cupcakes but I'd much rather get them out of the way but I know with the SEC schedule its hard to do.

    This is nothing against any conference, I'd say the same thing if Spiller and Clemson were playing Middle TN this past week instead of Week 1.

    Colt McCoy vs. Texas A&M

    24-40 for 304 yards and 4 TDs
    18 carries for 175 yards and a TD

    Gotta be the front runner for the Heisman right now.
  • ohiotiger33
    Wow what a game by McCoy. He may have wrapped it up. i still would like Spiller to play hard and get an invite to New York.
  • ironman02
    Mark Ingram vs. Auburn

    16 carries for 30 yards
    3 catches for 21 yards

    Ingram's Heisman chances took a MAJOR hit today.
  • devil1197
    Its Colt's to lose.
