ESPN Heisman Rankings

Doesn't Geno have more TDs then incompletions? So yeah I would think he would be the favorite.

Braxton Miller at #4, fergodsakes.  that will change soon

As for Denard, don't they only invite like top 5?

not even worth talking about unless they win out this year.

I like how ESPN made the comparison to Smith this season and RG3 from last season.  You cannot compare the two, at least not yet.  RG3 already played TCU.  Where as Geno Smith's hardest opponent so far is Marshall.  Smith's first major test will be when they play at Texas. 

Let's talk when he drops 5 TDs on Kansas State, or 4 on Oklahoma.  Let alone having just shy of 700 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs.

That is an improvement, the other day he was not even listed among those be considered!  If he could stop throwing to the other team -- I think he would be in consideration!  His numbers by any other QB would be considered all world!

I think it'd be nice to see Geno Smith win the Heisman.  I like to see some of less-hyped programs get Heisman winners, like Baylor last year.  Nothing against Matt Barkley, but I'm tired of USC quarterbacks winning.

All three of our Heisman winners had wins against MSU and OSU, and Desmond and Charles had victories against ND as well.

The problem is that Heisman consideration is heavily influenced by overall team record; RGIII winning last year in spite of 3 losses, including 2 beatdowns, was unusual.

But I just can't help it.  How the hell to you just ignore Shoelace and throw him down at the bottom with one last place vote.  Despite going up against the best team in the country, the kid has over 1000 total yards and 10 touchdowns!  And to all those guys who aren't giving him a any acknowledgement because of how he played at 'Bama, last I checked, no QB this season or last has gone thrown for as many yards as he did against "Bama, and so far this season he's the only person this to score a running touchdown against them, rb or otherwise.  Complete bullshit.

The Geno hype reminds me of Denard winning the September Heisman the past two years.  Don't think he'll keep up the pace.

It's also pretty comical how everybody is writing off Denard and Barkley already as if they have exactly 0 shot of winning.  So if Denard goes 200/200 with 4 TDs every game the rest of the season he wouldn't win the award, because he looked ordinary against Alabama?  Didn't think so.

AS to Geno, an old tour caddy friend of mine used to say of the first round leader, "Dog shit fast, don't shit long..."

I like where Denard is at this point.  In seasons past Denard has won the September Heisman, but faltered down the stretch.  I'd like to see him a bit under the radar, but keep putting up solid numbers against ND and the B10.  At this point, these polls are putting too much emphasis on early games -- like the Bama game -- because they have nothing else to go on.  I think Denard gets to NY, and the ND will have a lot to do with whether or not he wins.

McCarron is a good qb on a great team.. he had less than 200yrd against arkansas and his game vs. Mich was no heisman statement.. I think that the voters should give it to the Alabama DEFENSE..b/c this list BLOWS

but is Geno Smith really all he's cracked up to be? i haven't seen him play very much

Stepfan Taylor getting absolutely no respect.  He should be one of the favorites in my opinion.

Geno Smith is also a product of WVU's system.  He makes the system better because he's a good player but other QBs could step in and have ridiculous numbers too.  It's just like Oregon's system where they've had different running backs and QBs put in and still get similar results like the likes of LaMichael James and Darron Thomas.

Ok, I know this will sound like OSU bashing but I just don't get the Braxton Miller love right now? They have played 3 cupcakes and nothing jumps off the page with his stats. He completed 75% of his passes vs UCF, that I give him credit for, but other than that he is at 58.3% and 53.3% completion %.

OSU has one of the weaker schedules out there, with UAB next up and a total of 3 ranked teams on the schedule to date. You have to play some big games to get Heisman talk.

Ohio plays so many tough games. U can't wait to go in there and "compete." I have a pretty good feeling despite anything else that at the end of November I will smile.



That said, Braxton miller?

So much of this list is still hype.  Look at Aaron Murray's stats compared to Barkley's, with similar competition.  And Aaron Murray doesn't have Marqise Lee, Robert Woods and Nelson Agholar.
