He says that Booty and McFadden are “far-and-away the front runners for the Heisman.”

1. John David Booty, USC/Darren McFadden, Arkansas
3. Steve Slaton, West Virginia
4. Colt Brennan, Hawaii
5. Jamaal Charles, Texas
6. Brian Brohm, Louisville
7. Patrick White, West Virginia
8. Chad Henne, Michigan
9. DeSean Jackson, California
10. Mike Hart, Michigan
11. Sam Keller, Nebraska

Assume that Booty and McFadden will be a deciding factor in determining their team’s wins and losses; if USC goes undefeated and Arkansas fails to get to 10 wins, the Trophy is Booty’s. If USC loses a game but still plays for the BCS Championship, still, the Trophy is likely to be Booty’s.

Good thing Mitch Mustain will not be around to help Arkansas win games.
