Guest writer Bryan's Heisman Preview

First let me say this one thing, if you'll permit me...

Cal got screwed. Plain and simple. Texas is not that great, and Cal is one of the best teams in the country right now. Furthermore, if your'e a purist like me, why pass over a Pac-10 team to put a Big 12 team in the Rose Bowl? Seriously..

Let's get on with the Heisman Preview, I'll put up my finalists, different from most, then I will make my prediction

Jason White, QB, Oklahoma

Last year's Heisman Trophy Winner led the Sooners to a perfect 12-0 record, the Big 12 Championship and will lead them against USC in the Orange Bowl for the NCAA Championship. He threw for 2961 yards, had a 65% completion rate, and had 33 touchdowns compared to 6 ints. He threw 5 TD's against Texas A&M, but never really had a stellar game against any one team this season.

Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma

He is a freshman, with over 1800 yards, 15 TD's, and nearly six yards a carry. He is the real deal, and if he stays for all four years, he'll win three Heisman's in a row, but he wont win it this year.

Matt Leinart, QB, USC

5 less touchdown passes than Jason White, but other than that their stats are almost identical. He is the quarterback on the number one team in the country, and possibly the national champion. He is a terrific quarterback that is only helped out by a beautiful offense. If you put him in a draft with Jason White, he will be picked first.

Alex Smith, QB, Utah

Again, stats comparable to White and Leinart, but threw 2 less INT's than the both of them. Overlooked because of the team and conference that he plays in, but factor this. He had a 210.5 QB rating against Texas A&M, better than what Jason White had against them. Another quarterback who has led his team to a perfect record and a BCS Bowl Game.

Reggie Bush, RB, USC

Do me a favor when you look at Reggie's numbers. Please factor in that every defense tries to stop him first. He is great on the ground, but may even be better out of the backfield recieving the ball. Perhaps the most overall talent there is in college football today. The number of things you can do with him is amazing.

Those five are my finalists, but also factor in Aaron Rodgers, Cedric Benson, and Jason Campbell. I'm going back and forth on the two from Oklahoma. Many will not vote for Peterson because he is a freshman, but some will and I think it will split the vote with Jason White. Bush and Leinart will also split the vote, and because of that, I think the end result will be Alex Smith getting the Heisman. Too bad, because I think Reggie Bush should get the Heisman Award. But Alex Smith in the end, finally, Utah gets something.
