The leader sits in the clubhouse, but a couple of contenders could still make serious noise in the midlands.

Dec 1, 2011 - Last week, we ditched the fancy categories and qualifiers and focused on the 10 players who still had an even semi-reasonable chance of making it to New York for the Heisman ceremony;

1. Trent Richardson, Alabama

What I Said: "If Richardson posts 175 rushing yards tomorrow in a win over Auburn, then he becomes the outright favorite. If he only rushes for 100, or if Alabama loses, then he might have blown his opportunity."

Last Week: Versus Auburn: 27 carries, 203 yards (7.5 per carry); one catch, five yards, one touchdown.

This Week: He's done. I said Richardson needed 175 yards, and he got 203.

With Griffin getting hurt and Luck playing at a good-not-great level, I think Richardson is absolutely in the driver's seat.
