Heisman watch
The past weekend was another interesting one, with the Mid-American Conference proving it is a legitimate conference. This will have large implications all season long, including the introductions of Northern Illinois' Michael Turner and Toledo's Bruce Gradkowski as distant Heisman candidates. Oklahoma State receiver Rashaun Woods moved himself from a long shot to one of the favorites for college football's top individual prize when he caught seven touchdowns against Southern Methodist last week. Although Oklahoma and Miami are the country's top two-ranked teams, they don't have any players that offer up large enough statistics to be worthy candidates.
