Heisman Watch (Week 6)

There is only one addition to the list of five candidates from last week's addition of the Heisman Watch. But statistically, he could be the favorite. Welcome Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley to the list after his 11 catch performance against Colorado that included a TD on both offense and special teams. Shipley has been the front runner for the Biletnikoff Award for so long that it only seems right that he eventually ease his way into the Heisman race. He is a significantly better candidate than the fraudalent Jimmy Clausen, who is receiving most of his Heisman hype from the Notre Dame media machine while Golden Tate (a member of my Heisman Watch list) does the heavy lifting. The list of Heisman candidates has grown to six and does not even include the current owner of the trophy (If you want love from Amateur Status...you got to beat Texas next week). Here's a rundown.

• Tim Tebow was less than impressive in a 13-3 victory over (4)LSU.
• Colt McCoy looked less than stellar before (3)Texas came back from down 11 early to throttle Colorado.
• Tony Pike and Golden Tate both had bye weeks
• Case Keenum got the win and the 400 yards he needed to stay relevant in this conversation. He must continue to provide fans with ridiculous statistical outputs to stay on the minds of voters.
