Whoa, what happened? For weeks the folks on this board have been talking about how Buckeyes QB Troy Smith deserved more Heisman consideration than his teammate, Ted Ginn Jr. And guess what? The folks in Vegas are listening, because Smith is now third on their Heisman winner odds list at 8-1, ahead of Ginn and behind only Brady Quinn and Adrian Peterson! So, does Smith belong in such company? Is he a clear-cut top 3 candidate here?

Being on the number 1 overall team will help. The voters and press love the good teams. The 2 in front of him are definately in front of him though.

Big first game for Troy Smith against Northern Illinois - the OSU QB threw for nearly 300 yards and 3 touchdowns in the 35-12 victory. Numbers like that certainly won't hurt Smith's Heisman chances, eh?

Ginn did not have a bad showing though...4 catches +100 yards and two TD's...Its a case where one compliements the other and Quinn walks away with it...

Smith may just have rocketed to the top of the Heisman favorites list yesterday, thowing for 269 yards and a pair of scores against the #2 ranked team in the country. His accuracy surprised me, too - he's a better passer than I thought. I'm still backing my boy Slaton from WVU, but realistically speaking, I'd guess that Smith would win were the Heisman voting held today. What do you guys think?

It's early, but I am sticking with Peterson at OU. Without him, they are nothing. Ohio State has so many weapons this year, it would be hard to justify one guy on that team being more valuable than the other. Smith definitely deserves praise though. He looked very good last night.

Smith led the team to an unbeaten record, beat Michigan and broke the OSU single-season school record for most touchdown passes. ESPN's Gameday crew seemed ready to all but hand him the Heisman. So, does he have the award locked up now?

[Gravedigger007]

he sure did break the records for the touchdown passes
