No. 1 — Troy Smith
Senior quarterback, Ohio State
Season: 56-of-81 passing for 769 yards and seven touchdowns.
A steady day against Cincinnati keeps Smith at the top. Penn State will offer a better test Saturday.
No. 2 — Adrian Peterson
Junior running back, Oklahoma
Season: 90 rushes for 515 yards and four touchdowns, three catches for 75 yards and one touchdown.
Peterson had 145 of his 211 yards in the fourth quarter last week.
No. 3 — Chris Leak
Senior quarterback, Florida
Season: 55-of-84 passing for 799 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.
He led Florida to a big win at Tennessee and is now rewarded with a matchup against Kentucky.
No. 4 — Steve Slaton
Sophomore running back, West Virginia
Season: 62 rushes for 503 yards and six touchdowns.
Slaton cracks the list for the first time after gaining almost 200 yards rushing against Maryland.
