HEISMAN WATCH 2010 features QB's of course but wait.............................Then came a RB, WR, and a DO-IT-ALL CORNER......WHATS YOUR VOTE?

Around the time of the release of the BCS Standings comes every year all the HEISMAN TALK. Who will be invited to the DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB in NEW YORK CITY this year? A few surprises have arrived in the conversation with a lot of football left. One thing is for certain last year's winner , ALABAMA RB MARK INGRAM, then a sophomore, won't be in the running. But there are a few others in the SEC that might be invited to NYC.

With all that said here are the BLUEDUDE'S 2010 HEISMAN HOPEFULS for a trip to downtown NYC:

NOTE (ALL the players are in random order)

1. La MICHAEL JAMES soph. RB QUACK ATTACK in EUGENE: A pint-size pack of DYNAMITE that fuels the OREGON OFFENSE and ground attack. A scat back in the same mold as fellow PAC-10 RB and in-state rival OREGON ST's JACQUEZ RODGERS. At 5'8" and about 180 lbs. soak and wet he will be factor and will get tested in the later part of the schedule coming up. But you can't say a sophomore can't win last year's winner BAMA's MARK INGRAM was a SOPHOMORE.

2. DENARD ROBINSON soph. QB MAIZE & BLUE in ANN ARBOR: THE LACELESS ONE QB Robinson was off the charts and a leading candidate early on this season but two consecutive losses here in OCTOBER and LACKLUSTER play have almost doomed his chances this year. A unique player in head coach RICH RODRIGUEZ's QB friendly system has flourished with a full practice season under his belt and will be a factor in the race next year for sure.

3. PATRICK PETERSON jr. CB BAYOU BENGALS in BATON ROUGE: The best cover cornerback in COLLEGE FOOTBALL this year hands down. Only a JUNIOR he also now is a factor in the kicking game returning kicks. See in College Footbal you have to try to get your best players as much touches as possible and this kid is dynamite. A long-shot to win the HEISMAN, he will be undoubtedly the #1 DB off the Board in the 2011 NFL DRAFT.

4/5/6. RYAN BROYLES jr. WR DeMARCO MURRAY sr. RB and LANDRY JONES soph. QB BOOMER SOONER in NORMAN OK: Maybe the best Offensive TRIO in DIvision 1-A football. The same reason why the SOONERS and head coach BOB STOOPS are a top the BCS as we speak.

BROYLES: A lightning quick wideout with excellent route running and deep threat ability. He reminds the BLUEDUDE of former SOONER and current RAMS WR MARK CLAYTON and FORMER SMU MUSTANG and now STEELER ROOKIE EMMANUEL "GO-GO" SANDERS. Doesn't have a real shot of making the cut but still just to be mentioned and a player who will be a high NFL pick if he decides to forgo his senior season.

MURRAY: One of the most exciting freshman since FRESHMAN RB's MARCUS DUPREE and ALL DAY ADRIAN PETERSON to play as a true freshman in NORMAN. Then came the KNEE INJURY and the injuries have been a problem throughout MURRAY"S career at NORMAN. But now back and as healthy as he has been since his freshman season, DEMARCO might creep up on the list if the SOONERS can stay on top and he puts up even bigger numbers. A solid mid to late 2nd round pick in the upcoming 2011 NFL DRAFT.

JONES: Man when you see the SOONERS PLAY you are like didn't SAM BRADFORD get drafted #1 by the RAMS. Same guy as far as skill set: tall, very accurate arm, somewhat athletic, and a strong arm. The SOONERS will be in the hunt behind the HEISMAN TRIPLETS OF NORMAN. That's right I said it first, THE BLUEDUDE, and let them know you heard it here first. I am picking the SOONERS for a rematch in the BCS TITLE GAME with the BOYZ from BOISE. You talk about theatre. Jones will have to win out and put up some astronomical numbers to get a seat in NYC but only a sophomore he will get his chance SOONER or later.

7. CAMERON NEWTON jr. QB THE PLAINS in AUBURN AL: Just out of nowhere in the tough and rugged SEC this QB is putting up record shattering numbers that people have compared to GATOR QB TIM TEBOW. A serious contender and maybe at this point in the season the frontrunner for the HEISMAN. THE TIGERS are a top the SEC EAST because of him and only time will tell with a difficuklt schedule left to say the least and the trip to TUSCALOOSA LOOMING.

8. KELLEN MOORE jr. QB BLUE TURF BOYZ in Boise ID: The most consistent of all candididates thus far and plays on a team with a remaining schedule that says if we get beat we beat ourselves and that's not a knock on BOISE and MOORE that's who the play and where they are. A smooth lefty that reminds a little of former USC ALL-AMERICAN QB MATT LEINART and FORMER BAMA GREAT KEN "THE SNAKE" STABLER from a skill set standpoint. He has a very good chance of bringing BOISE the HEISMAN if he can keep putting up big numbers and they get to the BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

9. ANDREW LUCK jr. QB HARVARD OF THE WEST IN PALO ALTO CA: BIG TEX in the west who's is getting his tutelage from former MICHIGAN QB STANDOUT and CARDS HEAD COACH JIM HARBAUGH. A TOP 5 pick in this year's upcoming NFL DRAFT 2011 has a real chance and is in the BLUEDUDE"S top 5 players to get to NYC in DECEMBER. A PROTOTYPE NFL QB has the size, arm, footwork, mechanics, and a relentless worker who reminds me a little of former STANFORD FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL PLAYER JOHN ELWAY.

10. JUSTIN BLACKMON soph. WR THE 'BOYS of STILLWATER OK: A big, explosive target and can get deep on anybody. Starting where last year's Heisman Hopeful and OK ST COWBOY WR Dez Bryant left off. He has his work cut out as he plays in the BIG12 and needs continue to put up same numbers he has been putting up. Still has a chance and only a sophomore with OKLAHOMA and a few other high profile games left. Another long-shot to get to NYC but has a slim chance.
