Just got an e-mail from the folks at the Davey O'Brien Award, which is given to the top college QB. It's a watch list of 35 players, and yes, it's early. But it's worth taking a peek.
All the big names -- Southern Cal's John David Booty, Hawaii's Colt Brennan and West Virginia's Pat White -- are on there. There are three ACC QBs in the mix: Boston College's Matt Ryan, Wake Forest's Riley Skinner and Virginia's Jameel Sewell.
As for a sleeper QB that I'm looking forward to seeing on TV if the opportunity presents itself: Kentucky's Andre' Woodson, who tossed 31 touchdowns last year and would be talked up as a Heisman candidate if he played for a team likely to win more than seven games.

What about Colt McCoy from Texas and Chad Henne of Michigan? Don't you think their chances of BCS nirths should put them up at the top of the list too? I do think Anre' Woodson is a sleeper pick, UK is looking pretty good returning so many starters from last year. Maybe he can actually beet Brian Brohm for the first time in his life.
