1. Chris Wells, Ohio State RB (Jr.)
If he gets the ball 325-350 times this year, he could flirt with 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns (last year 274, 1,609 and 15 TD). A big performance against USC and a Big 10 title could earn him the hardware.
2. Tim Tebow, Florida QB (Jr.)
It's going to be difficult to match last year's out-of-this-world numbers. If he flirts with it and Florida looks good, he very well could join Archie Griffin as the only two-time winners.
3. Pat White, West Virginia QB (Sr.)
West Virginia is going to have a lot of wins and be one of the big stories in college football this year. Impressive numbers will get him an invite to New York.
4. Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech WR (So.)
I'm standing by the fact he should have been invited to New York last year. Nobody has sniffed a season like that since Larry Fitzgerald in 2003.
5. Sam Bradford, Oklahoma QB (So.)
The combination of Tim Tebow, Colt Brennan Chase Daniel kept him out of serious consideration last year. He'll establish himself as one of the country's top signal callers, but he still might be a year away from a Heisman invite.
Who are your top five? Chime in.

Adam. regardless, does not Tebow have to be the favorite going into the season?
Thoughts on Beamer's decision to redshirt Tyrod this season?
Sure, Tebow can be the default favorite, tough to argue. But I see it playing out with Wells holding the hardware, so why not put him first?
The only thing Wells has going for him is that he is playing for one of the best teams in the country in the weakest BCS conference. For Tebow to repeat he will need to put up similar numbers as last year, which is extremely unlikely.
Two players you forgot on this list are Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin. Daniel is the best quarterback in the country, and will most likely lead his team to an undefeated record into the Big 12 conference game. Maclin is the most dangerous player in the country, period. He will score touchdowns at least 4 different ways this year: kickoff returns, punt returns, receiving, rushing, and I can even see a trick play passing touchdown sometime. He gets a lot of touches, and poses matchup problems better than anyone in the game.

I belive Bradford dosnt have a clue what hes doing. now now i do like him as a QB and i do think he is a good one. but i dont belive that he deserves the heismen. he should be replaced by P.J. HILL. after looking over the scores and being at the game he was very impresive.
