College Football Heisman Standings: Final Predictions

By: Jared Ramos

The 2011 season is now over and it is time to predict who will take home the Heisman trophy. This year was one of the craziest years for the Heisman because there were a handful of players that could have taken home the award. Without further ado the final Heisman standings.

College Football Heisman Standings: Week 13

By: Jared Ramos

With only championship week left we break down the top  contenders to win the Heisman. With many of the top contenders not playing this week, there is not much room for players to change voters minds.

1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Last Week: 27 carries, 203 yards, 1 receiving TD

Season: 263 carries, 1583 yards, 20 TD’s

College Football Heisman Rankings: Week 11

By: Jared Ramos

We are now into the home stretch of the Heisman race. At this point any of the following five candidates could take home the hardware. The slightest slip up could mean the difference in finishing first or fifth.

1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Last Week: 32 carries, 127 yards, 1 TD

Season: 204 carries, 1205 yards, 18 TD’s

College Football Heisman Rankings: Week 9

By: Jared Ramos

1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

Last Week: 29-40, 330 yards, 3 TD’s, 1 INT
Season: 174-242, 2,218 yards, 23 TD’s, 4 INT’s

Last week Andrew Luck showed why so many people have him as their favorite to win the Heisman trophy. After throwing a pick six, to put USC up seven, Luck marched right back down the field to tie the game up and send it into overtime.

College Football Heisman Standings: Week 8

The college football season is past the half way point and I think we have gotten to the point where three players have separated themselves from the pack. Two of them are household names, while the third was a former WVU commit who almost got benched before the season even started.

Now that seven weeks are in the books we are starting to see some separation at the top of our heisman standings. Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson are starting to pull away from the pack. Meanwhile, Marcus Lattimore, someone who was a candidate all season had his season come to an end with ligament damage to his left knee.

College Football Heisman Standings: Week 6

It’s hard to believe that we are already at the half way point of the college football season. The race for the Heisman is heating up and now is when players make their case for the trophy. To this point there has only been two surprises in my eyes for potential Heisman candidates, Russell Wilson and Tyrann Mathieu. Both are legitimate candidates to take home the hardware after beginning the season on no one’s radar.

1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

Last Week: 26-33, 370 yards, 3 TD’s, 1 INT
Season: 106-145, 1383 yards, 14 TD’s, 2 INT

College Football Heisman Standings: Week 5

Two of our five Heisman candidates teams lost last week (South Carolina, Baylor), which means we are looking at a completely different list this week.

1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Last Week: 29 carries, 181 yards, 2 TD’s
Season: 96 carries, 622 yards, 10 TD’s

In Richardson’s last four games he has rushed for at least 111 yards. In three of his last four games he has rushed for more than 125 yards and two touchdowns. Richardson had a terrible opening week, but since then has been the best player in the country. I still believe that Marcus Lattimore is the best running back in the country, but right now no one is hotter than Trent Richardson.

Nov. 5 when the Tide host LSU will go a long way to deciding if Richardson is the second Alabama player in three years to be awarded the Heisman trophy.

College Football Heisman Standings: Week 4

By: Jared Ramos

We are now through four weeks of college football and this is about the time we start to see players solidify their position as a Heisman candidate. Once again I have reshuffled my Heisman standings, this time due to a loss. Remember it’s not just about individual statistics, but how your team performs during the year.

With that said here is our week four Heisman standings.

1. Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina

Stat Line: 20 carries, 150 total yards, 2 total TD
Season: 107 carries, 611 yards, 8 TD
