This college football season has featured a lot of unusual things.From alleged refereeing conspiracies to six undefeated teams with three weeks left, this season has seen it all — except for a plethora of Heisman moments.Is anyone really trying to win this season’s Heisman Trophy?No one has stood head and shoulders above the rest, although many have had decent seasons, and these five are doing the best of anyone thus far.1. MARK INGRAM Ingram has been far and away the best running back in the country this season while playing for No. 2 Alabama (10-0, 7-0 SEC).The sophomore from Flint, Mich., currently leads the Southeastern Conference in rushing with 1,297 yards on 194 carries for an average of 6.7 yards a carry — which is good enough for No. 5 nationally.This guy is a legitimate real deal.He has rushed for more than 100 yards in six of Alabama’s 10 contests, including three games in which he’s had more than 150 yards.Ingram has shown up in a very big way in Alabama’s four biggest games.He rushed for 246 yards against then-No. 22 South Carolina, he amassed 150 yards against then-No. 7 Virginia Tech, he totalled 172 yards against then-No. 20 Ole Miss and he ran for 144 yards against then-No. 9 LSU. He’s also No. 2 in the SEC in all-purpose yards with 1,522 and has 13 total touchdowns to his name.2. CASE KEENUMKeenum has gained considerable notoriety and firmly entrenched himself among college football’s elite signal-callers with his performances this season for No. 24 Houston (8-2, 4-2 C-USA).Keenum ranks No. 1 among quarterbacks with 4,194 passing yards and has passed for more than 500 yards on three separate occasions.To add to his monstrous yardage totals, he has tossed 31 touchdowns and completed 70 percent of his passes.He has also only thrown six interceptions in 514 passing attempts.Keenum’s Cougars play in the Conference USA, so this may hurt his chances, but he’s certainly done all he can to win the award.In his team’s two losses, Keenum still passed for 913 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception. 3. COLT MCCOYThe No. 3 Texas (10-0,6-0 Big 12) quarterback was atop most preseason Heisman watch lists, and his performances to date have kept him in the mix.McCoy is No. 17 nationally in passing yards with 2,628 yards and 19 touchdowns. He’s played relatively mistake-free for most of the season and has only thrown nine interceptions.He leads the country in completion percentage with 72.4 percent — a full two percentage points better than the next guy, Central Michigan’s Dan LeFevour.McCoy has also added 164 yards on the ground, but has only one rushing touchdown. 4. C.J. SPILLERNo. 23 Clemson (7-3,5-2 ACC) is leading the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Atlantic Division thanks largely in part to Spiller’s contributions.This running back is doing it all for the Tigers.Spiller ranks No. 3 nationally in all-purpose yards with 1,952 for an average of 195 yards a game.He’s rushed for six touchdowns, caught four, returned four kicks for a touchdown and even thrown a touchdown this season.It would be a long shot for Spiller to receive the award this season, but an invite to the ceremony in New York City is definitely not off the table for the senior speedster.5. TIM TEBOWA ton of guys are having slightly above average seasons who could fill the fifth spot on this list, but as the old adage would suggest, when in doubt, err on the side of Tebow.The Florida (10-0, 7-0) quarterback is gunning for history and trying to be just the second player in the sport’s history to win the prestigious award twice.Tebow isn’t having the all-world season many expected him to, but obviously he’s doing well enough to have his Gators at No. 1 in all the major polls.He’s passed for 1,730 yards and 12 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He’s the No. 10 most efficient quarterback in the country with a 154.0 rating in that category.He’s also run 171 times for 604 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tebow has also broken Herschel Walker’s record for all-time rushing touchdowns in SEC history this season. He also beat Kevin Faulk’s record for total career touchdowns in SEC history.
