The heisman is now a popularity contest.

The Heisman has been a popularity contest since I've been alive. Some years the popularity and the player have matched up, some years, like say 1991, the popular pick was taken because the voters didn't have the imagination to go anywhere else.

Without a dog in the fight I was happy for Mark Ingram and Alabama. An African-American kid from the Northeast bringing a Heisman to Bama for the first time...Without Sam Cunningham breaking the racial barriers in the SEC who knows when they would have allowed African Americans to play in the SEC.

Fiu's early prediction for a Heisman top-10, based on realities of the way voters behave, not based on who is the best player.

Spring Preview 2010 - The Heisman Candidates

1. Terrelle Pryor, QB Ohio State
Why He?s Going To Win It: As the signature star on the nation?s (most likely) No. 2 team, and considering voters aren?t going to be interested in giving it to Ingram a second year in a row, the Heisman is there for the taking. Pryor is almost stat-proof, needing to come up with a few highlight reel moments and a few great performances in big games to be on top of the leader board. The 266-yard passing day (with 72 rushing yards) in the win over Oregon set the tone for the 2010 season and made him look like another Vince Young. Voters blew it in 2005 by voting for Reggie Bush over Young, and there?s a chance they?re not going to want to make the same mistake again.

Of course, it all comes down to winning. The Buckeyes might not have many household names, but they?re beyond loaded with a few superior recruiting classes about to blossom at just the right time. There?s a date with Miami early and a perfectly timed finishing kick for the Heisman with a trip to Wisconsin in mid-October and with Penn State, at Iowa, and Michigan to finish things up. Assuming they start the season No. 2, the Buckeyes will play for the national title no matter what if they go 12-0. If Pryor is above-average, he?ll bring the school its second Heisman winner in five years (Troy Smith winning it in 2006).

2. Case Keenum (Hous)
3. Mark Ingram (Bama)
4. John Brantley (Fla)
5. Kellen Moore (Boise)
6. Garrett Gilbert (Tex)
7. Ryan Williams (VT)
8. Andy Dalton (TCU
9. Noel Devine (WV)
10. Ricky Dobbs (Navy)

If Boise St can have another amazing season and go undefeated (and hopefully finally get into the NC game) then Kellen Moore should win it hands down. Someone who isn't listed that i would watch out for is Mitch Mustain. Overall i think he is the best overall QB that will be in teh draft next year. Keenum is a great QB, but i think Mustain has an edge over him. I think he will be the star for Bama this year and not Ingram.

Mustain is at USC and may not even start.

If by Mitch Mustain you mean Greg McElroy. But no, McElroy isn't good enough to win the heisman and Bama will lean heavily on Ingram and Richardson.

Folks, the confusion is he thinks Mustain is the starter for Bama. It is Greg McElroy. McElroy will hand the ball off about 65-70% of teh time this year, so he won't even be in the discussion. Will be interesting to see how they utilize Ingram and Richardson....50/50 split, or will Ingram continue to dominate the load?

I don't know why i said Bama....i meant USC, must be living in the past. Sure he doesn't have the starting position yet, but i still think he is a better QB then Matt. I think Mustain will take over the starting position, if not right away. And if he does, he can put up the big numbers. Just throwing this out there to think about. Mustain will be one of the better QBs in the draft next year, even though he hasn't played a whole lot in college.

I'm still going with Kellen Moore to win the Heisman this coming year.

I don't remember Ingram carrying the ball very often for USC.

That's not very difficult, Matt was pretty iffy last year, yet Mitch barely played.
