Skip Bayless recently said on ESPN's Hot Seat with Jesse Palmer that Todd Boeckman should win the Heisman, as of right now. That is bold statement, considering that Boeckman wasn't even on the Heisman Watch until this week. Is Skip on to something, though? The first question would be are his numbers good enough?

Consider Troy Smith's numbers last year: 65% completion, 2500 yards, 30 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.

Boeckman's numbers through ten games: 65% completion, 2000 yards, 23 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.

Seems as if Boeckman is going to have very similar numbers by the end of the year and, presumably, be on a team with the same undefeated record. The only downside to Boeckman's numbers is the interceptions, but those interceptions obviously haven't caused the Buckeyes to lose games. The second question would be how many votes do his teammates steal?

Laurinaitis has also been on the Heisman spotlight as voters have failed to find a dominate offensive force this year. Beanie Wells has not had any Heisman spotlight, but if he continues his tear against Illinois and Michigan, he could take some votes. But James' and Beanie's numbers aren't enough to take a lot of votes away from Boeckman.

The final question is do we even want him to win it? If Boeckman were to win the Heisman, would he stay in college? Todd is a lot better NFL prospect than Troy ever was and has garnered some attention from scouts. If he won the Heisman, he would definitely think of making the bolt to the pros, which would leave Ohio State with only one legitimate quarterback on the roster.

But all this is speculation. The voters will decide the Heisman winner later this year.
