He has a chance.  He was very good the last half of last season.  He was actually in the top 5 in QB ratings at the end of the season.  However, with the defense being almost 100% new faces, the Buckeyes could struggle, and if they lose too many games, it will pretty much destroy Smith's chances of winning the Heisman.

The Buckeyes are definately going to win. Troy Smith is a Michigan killer. I don't think they will stomp them (although, I wish they would), but they will win by 3 or 7.\nWhy?..... Troy Smith is gonna prove why he is the top runner for the Heisman, Ted Ginn is uncatchable after he catches the ball in the open field, Anthony Gonzalaz is very reliable, and James Laurenitis is a hawk on defense (get it :)

actually reggie bush did deserve it, but calhoun does deserve more recognition for his acheivments this last season. thats not saying it isnt a popularity contest as its more probable you will see a player from USC, Miami, Florida, Texas win the heisman opposed to someone from Alabama or Wisconsin, but you also have to look at competition

they just might do it this upcoming season with brady quinn, a potential heisman finalist.. charlie weis has done a phenominal job his FIRST season (remember, these aren't HIS guys).. weis' recruits in the future will be the same way the patriots signed no name players and won 3 championships.. weis turn this program around and back in the right direction (and quick).

It may take a few more drafts before they become good, but you are right, a RB (maybe Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson) would be the logical choice this upcoming draft. Give Frye another year. Brady Quinn will go to the Lions or Raiders who will likely pick before the Browns, so I don't think they will even get the chance to draft him. And Troy Smith is not worth a high draft pick as his future as a QB will be short. He would be a better WR.

It's getting very interesting here in Alabama.  The rumors are running rampant.  I would love to have Spurrier or Saban.  Supposedly, they have not spoken to anybody, but, I find that hard to believe.  I think we will have an announcement by Friday.  Or at least I hope it will not go on longer than that.

If he doesn't beat Auburn soon, he will be! As for rumors, I haven't heard any, but there's a number of guys I'm sure they'd go after.

OU's quarterback will have to step up and allow peterson to have somewhere to run.  Its hard as hell to run against an 8-man front every time because the opposing team knows the QB sucks.  Unfortunately, since Quinn plays for the Irish, he will get a lot of votes if he has a great year.  Sleepers for the Heisman will be Chris Leak, Chad Henne, Troy Smith, and Ted Ginn Jr.  \n\nMy pick, if i was a betting man, would be Chris Leak.  He's gonna have a huge year with the talent Florida has, and Urban Meyer is a genius when it comes to offense.

No, although he is a good qb and will have a great year, I believe the Troy Smith-Tedd Ginn combo will be so explosive that 1 of them will win it. My bet is Troy Smith, Irish fans know very well what Mr.Smith is capable of.

Me! I now am convinced that he should have got the heisman!

Tiki Barber should do great. If you noticed he does not have great speed and he still put up amazing numbers. That's due to the fact that hes has great power and and field vision. I don't see him getting any weaker and you don't lose field vision. On top of that he fixed the fumbling problem. I just wish he was a little faster he would have more touchdowns. Hopefully he gets the rushing title.

EASY!!!!! with the "Greatest QB in CFB history! Vince Young was a better runner, but I think Troy Smith is a better passer and maybe even more poised. Smith is more NFL ready, but if you are talking college, then your'e right - Smith needs to win a title.\n\nI don't put too much stock in the Rose Bowl game. USC did give up like 50 pts to Fresno State, and their defense really couldn't stop anybody last year.

Troy is, without a doubt, the best player in College Football today. That being said, let's look at how other Heisman QB's have fared in the NFL. Jason White. Eric Crouch. Chris Weinke. Danny Wuerfel. Notice a pattern? Heisman flops. Another pattern? They're all drop-back, "traditional" QB's. But Troy has the legs, too. He can take a game into a whole different dimension. Troy's speed makes him a whole different category: the QB scrambler. Troy is the second mainstream running QB to be considered a potential pro threat. The first? Mike Vick.  But Vick wasn't even close to this good in college. So I think Troy will be succesful in the NFL. He's got great decision-making skills, and he's not having difficulty as a college QB. Look back at the Michigan game. Or the Texas game. He makes some of the nation's best DB's look positively ameteur. Troy should lead a productive career starting for an NFL team (Detroit? Oakland? Cleveland?). Perhaps he'll be the first of his breed to gain top-tier status. All in all, his prospects are ripe for the NFL.

This year will be a adjustment for Steve.....BUT....he still got his GO TO GUY FROM  TENN...Derick Mason(3yrs ago) and Clayton more than what he had in Tenn(last year)....This is a Close CALL...Two teams that are(or were) happy to WIN  13-10

My Ohio State Buckeyes have a great shot to be 1# next year. Ted Ginn and Troy Smith will be Heisman frontrunners.

He probably will, but it depends on the outcome of the Rose Bowl. If Texas wins, he'll go. If not,it's up in the air. He should stay for his senior year. Great athlete, but needs to develop a more accurate arm. Plus the Big 12 really didn't have a top defense this year.
