Another week, another scramble at the top of the Heisman leaderboard. That is, for everyone except Stanford QB Andrew Luck - who remains at #1.

Alabama RB Trent Richardson jumped four spots to #2, joining Luck as the only player appearing on more than 90% of Heisman voters' top-ten watch lists. Baylor QB Robert Griffin III moved up two spots to #3 into an effective tie with Boise State QB Kellen Moore - each appearing on 46 of 51 top-ten lists.

MFBATR has a huge stage on which to showcase his talents. We apologize in advance to all the sport writers that have Heisman votes, but don't know enough about football to realize how amazing he is. We know you have to watch kind of close to see a pile of 7-8 tacklers moving down the field, as if on a people mover at the airport. Plus the math involved in calculating yards after contact is much harder if you cover schools without any defenses. "What's this contact thing they keep talking about?" Also we are sorry you don't know how BATR does in 3rd and long, since he gets a first on 1st or sometimes 2nd, and he never ever really goes DOWN.  It's all hard to follow in contrast to say, a guy throwing as hard as he can while a speedster runs under it.

MFBATR's second run in this video shows his yards after contact. He stretches and reaches for more yards. Plus his other runs as well.

I hope the voters realize how ridiculous his numbers would be if he hadn't sat out the fourth quarter of every game this year and shared time with EL because Saban cares more about the team than an individual award.
