The thing to keep in mind here, is everyone on that list except Wright has played four games. Wright has played just three, so even if he has a poor game against Colorado State tomorrow, he'd still be in the top six. Then again, by that time, everyone else will have played another game, too. Anyway, you know what I mean. He's still top 5 material.

The Heisman, of course, really has nothing to do with statistics. It's all about perception and hype. Wright has no hype. This blog and my column are pretty much the only publicity he's getting, which is to say, very, very, very, very little.

Truthfully, though, this Wright Heisman campaign isn't as silly as it might seem. Let's take a look at Wright compared to the top running back in the Heisman race, according to whoever makes these decisions.

Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson has 643 yards on 117 attempts, an average 5.5 yards per carry. Wright 448 yards on 83 attempts, an average of 5.4 yards per carry. Peterson has seven touchdowns. Wright has six touchdowns. Calculate in an extra game for Wright and their stats are almost identical.

Not only that, they've both played Oregon and Washington. Peterson's other two games were against UAB and Middle Tennessee State. Wright's other game was against Nevada, and after tomorrow, Colorado State. So his schedule has actually been tougher.

I'm not really sure what my point is here. And so I'll stop.
