Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

No. 1 player on No. 1 team. Tebow won it ’07, placed third last season. In good with the man upstairs. Odds: 2-1

Colt McCoy, QB, Texas

Second in last season’s voting. Has had a great career; ran for more yards last season than Tebow. Odds: 3-1

Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio State

The most athletic spread QB in the country will make lots of highlight plays. Odds: 8-1

Jahvid Best, RB, Cal

If the Golden Bears end USC’s Pac-10 reign, he becomes a, you guessed it, best bet. Odds: 10-1

Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

The QB of America’s College Football Team, which is expecting a bounce back season. Odds: 9-1

Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech

This is why coach Paul Johnson finally left Navy — to have a back of this talent (1,395 yards last year) operating in the flexbone. Odds: 15-1

Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

2008 winner; voters need to overwhelmed for a repeat and Sooners’ O won’t be as good. Odds: 3-1

Armanti Edwards, QB, Appalachian State

Brilliant career includes 10,783 yards, 108 TDs and that win at Michigan. Can turn heads by beating East Carolina in the opener. Odds: 10,000-1
