1. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
Last week I said getting hurt may have cost him a chance for the trophy, but in his words, "I think Baylor may have it's first Heisman". RGIII has had the most impressive year for any QB and is the sole reason Baylor is anything. This weekend Griffin passed for 320 yards and 2 scores and ran for 32 yards and 2 more, including a 10-yarder in the third quarter.
His season stats are: 3,998 yard, 36 TDs, 6 Ints and a 72%, with 644 yards and 9 TDs.
2. Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
Montee Ball has had a hell of a year and will most likely finish the year with more than 40 TDs. Even though Russell Wilson gets all the credit, Ball is the guy that has been putting up god like numbers. In the victory against Michigan State this weekend he ran for 137 yards and 3 TDs on 27 Carries and caught one more pass for a score. He now has 38 TDs on the year.
Season stats: 275 attempts, 1759 yards, 6.4 ypc, 32 TDs, 20 rec, 255 yds, 6 TDs
3. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
Richardson got killed last week by not playing. With Griffin III and Ball putting up huge numbers that could have been the nail in Trent's coffin. Trent is the only reason Bama's offense is scary and he will make the best NFL RB out of the buch, he has the speed, size, awareness and toughness to succeed. He gets stronger as the game goes on and can run through or around opponents and never fumbles the ball. He's my favorite player in college football this year, but not playing in a SEC championship may have killed him.
Season Stats: 1583 YDS, 20 TDs, 6 YPC, 27 REC, 327 YDS, 3 TDs
Matt Barkley, QB, USC
People forget that USC would be 5 overall if not for the suspension and Matt Barkley is a lot of that. He couldn't play in the Pac 12 championship due to the suspension as well. He is the best QB in the Pac 12 and has been able to shine in the biggest games this year.
Season Stats: 3528 Yds, 39 TDs, 7 Ints, 69.1%, 2 rushing TDs
5. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
His name may actually get him this award which is devastating. Luck didn't play in a Pac 12 game like Barkley.
Season Stats: 3170 yds, 35 TDs, 9 INTs, 70.0%, 2 Rushing TDs
