He\u2019s the Heisman leader by a long shot so far, and a massive spread against Tennessee this year will see Tebow dominate the volunteers as he pads his stats again in Week 3.<\/p>\n<p>Next Game: Tennessee vs. Florida (-27.5)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jahvid Best (281 yards rushing, 4 Touchdowns)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best running back in the nation is\u2026uh\u2026Best himself.<a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4yljav6EPTXGuP53Z4oU6Stq\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/football\/sportsbook_NCAAGOTW1_300x600_mybanner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a> With a stout 144 yard performance against Eastern Washington this weekend, Best has asserted his stranglehold as the best tailback in the nation. He\u2019s averaging 10.4 yards per carry and could very well become the heir apparent to Bradford as Tebow\u2019s only challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Next Game: California (-14) vs. Minnesota<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colt McCoy (653 yards, 7 Touchdowns)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>McCoy gets to exercise some demons against the Red Raiders this weekend, and a solid 337 yard outing against Wyoming has McCoy blossoming in to an NFL-ready commodity. Now if his team can just avoid that one season crushing loss that they always have, McCoy will compete heavily with the steeply favored Tebow.<\/p>\n<p>Next Game: Texas Tech vs. Texas (-16.5)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dez Bryant (162 yards receiving, 2 Touchdowns)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adding to his touchdown total was the blistering 82 yard touchdown kick return Bryant had. He\u2019s the best receiver in the nation, but it\u2019s going to take some mega performances for him to stay relevant. It\u2019s also going to take a handful of monster games for Bryant to wash the glaring loss by Oklahoma State to Houston this weekend from their memory banks.<\/p>\n<p>Next Game: Rice vs. Oklahoma State (-31)<\/p>\n<h3>So Long, Farewell<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jimmy Clausen (QB) \u2013 Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Losing to Michigan on the grand stage in The Big House is going to haunt Clausen all season.
