No. 1 — Troy Smith
Senior quarterback, Ohio State
SEASON: 35-of-51 passing for 566 yards and five touchdowns.
Smith leapfrogged Brady Quinn as the Heisman front-runner after convincingly leading the Buckeyes over Texas.
No. 2 — Brady Quinn
Senior quarterback, Notre Dame
SEASON: 48-of-74 passing for 533 yards and three touchdowns.
Quinn's numbers are good — but not mind-blowing. A huge showing against Michigan will put pressure on Smith.
No. 3 — Adrian Peterson
Junior running back, Oklahoma
SEASON: 56 rushes for 304 yards and three touchdowns, three catches for 75 yards and one touchdown.
Another game, another 100-yard, multi-touchdown performance from Peterson.
No. 4 — Chris Leak
Senior quarterback, Florida
SEASON: 40-of-59 passing for 600 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions.
Leak put together his best day ever under second-year head coach Urban Meyer.
