LEADING MEN

ERIC CROUCH

Quarterback, Nebraska

Monster game from a numbers perspective against Colorado, but blowout loss hurts. Beware of last-minute ballot changes.

Season: 203 carries, 1,115 yards, 18 TDs; 105 for 189, 1,510 yards, 7 TDs.

KEN DORSEY

Quarterback, Miami

Since Crouch might fizzle, Dorsey is sure to gain more support even though he had only 189 yards against Washington.

Season: 163 for 274, 2,417 yards, 22 TDs.

REX GROSSMAN

Quarterback, Florida

Will the fact that he’s a sophomore be held against him? Not if he does to Tennessee what he has done to most every other opponent. A big game could clinch it.

Season: 226 for 344, 3,534 yards, 32 TDs.

Nextvs. No. 7 Tennessee, Saturday

JOEY HARRINGTON

Quarterback, Oregon

The numbers aren’t as good as Grossman’s, but he’s older, plays in a tough conference and has the reputation for being a comeback king. Can’t stumble against Oregon State.

Season: 175 for 300, 2,310 yards, 23 TDs.

Nextvs. Oregon State, Saturday

ANTWAAN RANDLE EL

Quarterback, Indiana

The Hoosiers won the Old Oaken Bucket from Purdue during one of Randle El’s average days. Can’t say that will be a boost to his chances.

Season: 189 carries, 987 yards, 9 TDs; 110 for 219, 1,566 yards, 7 TDs.

Nextvs. Kentucky, Saturday
