Good list. In my opinion (and I know this goes against every word ever spoken about this years heisman) Vince Young has a big advantage over Leinart. The guy is simply amazing. If he has Rose Bowl-type performances, he will win it by a lot. Plus, Norm Chow is gone. Just my take.

WOW look how many Heisman candidates we play this year.

I agree Vince Young has a great chance... but he HAS to be OU and Ohio State, I just don't see Texas winning both of them. My heisman winner is Adrian Peterson. I just don't see Leinart dominating again. I think USC will be the Reggie Bush show in '05. I think Peterson will run for 2000+ and 20+ TDs. Erik Ainge of UT also has a good chance with the amazing receivers the Vols have.
