While most Heisman lists out there continue to talk up several candidates as if they still have a legitimate shot, the reality is that there are only two players left who can still win.Think about it. Adrian Peterson is done for the season with a broken collarbone. Steve Slaton is just a sophomore and therefore can't win. Garrett Wolfe was knocked off his record-breaking pace after rushing for just 25 yards last week. Calvin Johnson is a receiver who doesn't also return punts or kicks. Michael Hart is a nice back who won't put up the numbers needed to challenge.
That leaves Troy Smith and Brady Quinn.
Simply put, if Smith's Buckeyes beat Michigan on Nov. 18, he will cruise to the trophy.
If Ohio State loses and Quinn's Irish beat an undefeated USC, it will be Quinn's name on the base of the statue.
If the vote were held today, it would look something like this:
1. Troy Smith, Ohio State
2. Brady Quinn, Notre Dame
3. Garrett Wolfe, Northern Illinois
4. Steve Slaton, West Virginia
5. Michael Hart, Michigan
6. Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech
7. Chris Leak, Florida
8. Marshawn Lynch, Cal
9. Erik Ainge, Tennessee
10. Ray Rice, Rutgers
