Top Title Contenders All Boast Potential Heisman Winners

Going into the last 3 weeks of the college football season, there are still 6 undefeated teams contending for a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. But, almost a month before the National Championship is given out, the Heisman Trophy will be handed to the nation's best player and all 6 of these teams have a Heisman contender.
1. FLORIDA
Obviously, Florida's Heisman candidate wears #15. Tim Tebow has not been as dominant this year and the award that was his to lose in the preseason is up for grabs with 3 weeks left.
STATS: 64%completion, 1730 pass yards, 22 total touchdowns
WHAT'S LEFT: v. FIU, v. Florida State, SEC title game
2. ALABAMA
RB Mark Ingram has been Alabama's key to winning all season long because of the struggles of QB Greg McElroy. Ingram's running will be one of the things that has to succeed for the Tide to win the SEC title game.
STATS: 1297 rush yds, 13 total TD
WHAT'S LEFT: v. Chattanooga, @ Auburn, SEC title game
3. TEXAS
QB Colt McCoy is looking for his Heisman after playing second-fiddle to good friend Sam Bradford and Tebow. In every game this season, Texas has looked unstoppable thanks mostly to McCoy and his roommate WR Jordan Shipley.
STATS: 72.4completion %, 2628 pass yards, 19 TD, 9 INT
WHAT'S LEFT: vs. Kansas, @ Texas A&M
4. TCU
Quarterback Andy Dalton is considered by many a long shot to win the Heisman, but that is because he does get as much attention as the other players. After leading the Horned Frogs to big wins over Mountain West rivals, BYU and Utah, TCU is on their way to the BCS.
STATS: 2088 pass yards, 17 TD, 4 INT
WHAT'S LEFT: @Wyoming, v. New Mexico
5. CINCINNATI
The Bearcats have emerged as the power program in the Big East thanks to their quarterback tandem of Tony Pike and Zach Collaros. Pike has the better shot at the Heisman since he has played more games, while Collaros has put up the better stats through 3 games.
STATS: Pike, 1649 pass yards, 17 TD. Collaros: 1434 yards, 10 TD
WHAT'S LEFT: v. Illinois, @Pittsburgh
6. BOISE STATE
QB Kellen Moore has lit the stat sheet on fire while going 10-0 this season with the Broncos. The left-handed Moore has led the Broncos to blowouts in almost every game in the weak WAC.
STATS: 2558 pass yards, 32 TD, 3 INT
WHAT'S LEFT: @Utah State, v. Nevada, v. New Mexico State.

PREDICTION
These 7 players may be joined by an outsider like Toby Gerhart of Stanford or Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska, but it is highly likely that an undefeated team will boast the Heisman winner this season.
Heisman Winner: Colt McCoy, Texas
Runner-up: Tim Tebow, Florida
Texas is basically a shoe-in for the BCS National Championship Game and McCoy has been unstoppable.
