The "way too early" Preseason 2012 Heisman list

[Excel]

Yes, preseason Heisman lists are usually crap, yes it's way too early to even talk about them, and yes Scout is generally piss poor when it comes to predictions in general BUT they've done it anyhow

Uhhhh. There seems to be a notable absence.

 

[WoodyHayes1951]

Matt Barkley would be a fool to come back being a Top-5 pick

See : Matt Leinart.

I like how there are 3 or maybe more RBs coming off of not having played most of this season with a devastating injury, yet they all presumably bounce back to "Best in America" status the first year back.

I stopped reading when I saw Jared Zabrasnky and Tim Tebow didnt make the list.

I think the reason we don't see Burkhead on that list is no one knows if he's coming back for his Senior season or not. He's the best "unknown" running back out there IMO.

I believe the key word is "Unknown". Ball was a finalist this year so he isn't really an unknown.

Bingo............ask anyone outside of Nebraska or even the midwest about Rex Burkhead and they'll say............."who?"

 

[Excel]

I thought you meant "unknown" as far as whether or not he'll declare for the NFL Draft considering your first statement...not unknown as far as national recognition...and as far as being the best in that sense? That's also debatable.

Coker, Marshall, Hillman, Randle, Pierce and Bernard all have claims to that.
