New Heisman Poll Out 11/7

Brady's a near unanimous #2 (Some bozo put Colt McCoy at 2 and Brady at 3). This puts Brady in a position to gain a lot of ground in the next three weeks. 2 games against bad defenses to boost stats, and then a nationally-televised rivalry game a week after Troy Smith ends his season against a defense that let up 31 points to Oregon State.

Meanwhile, Troy Smith has one more stat padding game, which he'll need to have comparable stats to Quinn, before facing the only defense that has made Quinn look human for 4 quarters. Same defense that absolutely destroyed Drew Tate and Anthony Morelli (and Morelli's backup). Also, looking at the press aspect, Troy Smith ends his season a week earlier than Brady. Which means all the Heisman Hype for that last week will be solely on Brady Quinn.

Now that Quinn is in a solid #2 position, he's in a good point to take the award home if he has a good game against USC.

Discuss.

In all fairness Colt is putting up some insane numbers and he is young kid....plus their only loss came at the hands of the #1 team in the country.

If Troy smith wins the heisman over Quinn I say we burn Columbus to the groun-

wait,... nevermind.

After the MU/OSU game, whatever the outcome, Columbus will be a prime spot to roast some marshmellows.

Colt is a monster and is going to be one of the best we've seen in a long time, BUT he has played against the #70 something ranked schedule versus an ND schedule ranked anywhere from 19th - 26th. He has 2 more td passes, equal int's and a few hundred less yards than BQ. That being said, I like the kid. I think he is a special player.

those clowns take the idea of getting toasted after the game seriously out of context...

call me a naive idealist, but i continue to believe that the heisman should be awarded based on more than just the player's current season. voters should consider both their career and their contributions to their respective teams. this is where McCoy falls short. In Smith's case, it would be difficult to make the argument that he means more to the success of his team than Quinn does to ND.

McCoy is going to be something great in the future.

Regardless of what Quinn does, Smith needs to have a bad game against UM for Brady to win it.

I disagree with this because it is a yearly award. Ever since ESPN sucked of Eric Crouch and Chris Weinke it has become more of a career award.
