Southern Miss
DT Anthony Gray, Southern Miss – Being undersized at around 6’ and 320 lbs, Gray will have trouble fitting into every team's defense in the NFL. So, he will have to make his mark as an undersized nose tackle. He is a tough football player and is hard to move despite his size. This season he has 42 total tackles, 5.5 solo, and 1.5 sacks. With NFL teams always looking for defensive linemen that can play in the 3-4 scheme, Gray will have a shot at getting drafted in the late rounds.
Louisville
CB Johnny Patrick, Louisville - Patrick has good size at around 5’11’’ 190 lbs, and also has superb strength for a cornerback. He's been moving up the ranks of senior cornerbacks for next year’s draft. He has the skills to play man coverage and he also can be effective in a Tampa Two style defense because he is a willing tackler. He has good speed and quickness and this season has 47 total tackles, 5.5 for loss, 1 sack, 5 interceptions, 11 pass break-ups and 16 passes defended. Right now NFL teams have him graded as a 2nd round pick in this April’s NFL Draft.
RB Bilal Powell, Louisville – Coming into the year Powell had a low free-agent grade from NFL teams, but has played well enough to move up the charts and right now has a 5th round grade from NFL teams. He is a big, physical running back who has good size at 6’, 210 lbs, and does a good job running downhill and behind his pads. He is also a better overall athlete than people give him credit for, and also has the ability to catch the football out of the backfield. This season he has rushed for 1,330 yards, averaged 6.3 yards per carry and scored 10 rushing touchdowns. He also has caught 16 passes for 148 yards and 3 touchdowns.
TE Cameron Graham, Louisville - Graham is Louisville’s’ leading receiver with 37 catches for 439 yards and 4 touchdowns. He has good size for a tight end at around 6’4’’ 250 lbs and looks the part. He has shown that he has the ability to block as well as get down the middle of the field to catch the football. He has good hands but needs to get better at running routes. He is one of the tight ends that is moving up teams boards and right now NFL teams have a 6th round grade on him.

7. Matt Reynolds, BYU - Junior
8. Andrew Datko, Florida State - Junior
9. Jason Pinkston, Pittsburgh - Senior
10. Marcus Cannon, TCU – Senior
1. QB Cameron Newton, Auburn - This season Newton has rushed for 860 yards and 12 touchdowns and threw for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns and only has thrown 5 interceptions. Auburn has been lead by him and hasn’t lost a game this season and go up against LSU this week which will be a good test for him and if Newton can lead Auburn to a win he will be looking more and more like he will be holding up the Heisman in New York.
2. RB LaMichael James, Oregon - This season James has rushed for 848 yards and 9 touchdowns and also has caught 3 passes for 96 yards and 1 touchdown. Oregon is the new number one ranked team in the country in the polls and they play on ESPN on Thursday night against UCLA it will give everyone in the country a chance to see James and how good he is.
3. QB Kellen Moore, Boise State - This season Moore has thrown for 1,567 yards and 16 touchdowns and only 1 interception. Moore is a very effective quarterback and has great skill guys around him, but it will be hard for him to win the Heisman as they don’t play in a great conference and they aren’t on national TV that often.
4. QB Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State - This season Pryor has thrown for 1,505 yards and 15 touchdowns and only throwing 4 interceptions, and he has also rushed for 410 yards and 3 touchdowns. He drop this past week because his team lost to Wisconsin and he didn’t play all that great, he needs to show that he can be the player that we have seen early in the season for the rest of the season and Ohio State can’t afford anymore losses.
5. QB Denard Robinson, Michigan - This season Robinson has rushed for 1,096 yards and 9 touchdowns and threw for 1,319 yards and 9 touchdowns but has also thrown 5 interceptions. He has been outstanding, but he had a rough game against Michigan State and Iowa and was unable to finish the Iowa game because of an arm injury.
1. Oregon (6-0) – This Thursday they play UCLA at home and let see if they can hold on to the number one ranking.
2. Boise State (6-0) – Boise State just has to hope that Virginia Tech and Oregon State can have a good season this year.
3. TCU (6-0) – TCU wins again, they are waiting for their only test left for the season November 6th against Utah.
4. Oklahoma (6-0) – Oklahoma is a very good team and in the BCS standings they are number one.
5. Auburn (7-0) – Great game this Saturday and Auburn takes on LSU.
6. LSU (7-0) – Can they stop Cam Newton and Auburn this upcoming Saturday.
7. Michigan State (7-0) – They have to travel outside the state of Michigan this Saturday to take on Northwestern.
8. Alabama (6-1) – They just have to hope that teams head of them lose.
9. Utah (6-0) – Utah should be undefeated when the go in their game against TCU, November 6th.
10. Wisconsin (6-1) – A huge win this Saturday against Ohio State.
11. Ohio State (6-1) – Ohio State didn’t play well when they traveled to Wisconsin and still have to travel to Iowa.
12. Stanford (5-1) – They still have to take on Arizona which should be a good game.
13. Arizona (5-1) – They still have Stanford and Oregon on their schedule.
14. Iowa (5-1) – A big game against Wisconsin this Saturday.
15. Nebraska (5-1) – Nebraska needs to bounce back from the Texas loss and get ready for a very good Oklahoma State team.
16. Florida State (5-1) – Florida State might be able to run the table and depending on what happens have an outside shot at playing for a National Title.
