Here are the Top Performers from the weekend:
ACC: Riley Skinner (Jr. QB Wake Forest) - Skinner led the Demon Deacons to victory with a 4th quarter drive. He completed 22 of 34 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown, and ran for 73 more yards.
Big 12: Colt McCoy (Jr. QB Texas) - He didn't put up gaudy numbers like the guy on the other team (Sam Bradford), but he led his team to a 45-35 win at the Cotton Bowl over then No. 1 Oklahoma. McCoy completed 28 of 35 passes for 277 yards and 1 touchdown and he ran for 31 yards, as well.
Big East: Noel Devine (So. RB West Virginia) - Led the Pat White-less Mountaineers to a 17-6 win over Syracuse by carrying the ball 18 times for 188 yards and a score.
Big Ten: Daryll Clark (Jr. QB Penn State) - Showed that the Nittany Lions are for real by leading his team to a 48-7 stomping of Wisconsin (who was ranked in the top 10 just a couple of weeks ago) at Camp Randall. Clark completed 16 of 25 passes for 244 yards 1 touchdown 1 interception and ran for 12 yards and 2 more TDs.
Pac 10: Jacquizz Rodgers (Fr. RB Oregon State) - He carried the ball 23 times for 168 yards and one touchdown as the Beavers won big against Washington State, 66-13.
SEC: Tim Tebow (Jr. QB Florida) - After a lack luster beginning to the season for last year's Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow has started to play like he did last year. After being called out by an LSU defensive lineman earlier in the week, Tebow showed up and completed 14 of 21 passes for 210 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 22 rushing yards and one touchdown on the ground.
Independents/ Non-BCS: Jason Cherry (Sr. WR Louisiana-Lafayette) - He had 3 catches for 123 yards and 3 touchdowns, 3 carries for 85 yards and 1 touchdown, and he returned a kickoff for a touchdown. The most impressive thing was he did all of this in the first half.
Tyrrell Herbert (Sr. Safety Toledo) - He had 2 interceptions, his first was returned 100 yards for a score after Michigan had made it into the red zone. Toledo pulled off what they are calling their greatest victory in Rocket history, a 13-10 win at the Big House.

It's too tough to predict who the Heisman front runner is right now. Part of who wins the Heisman is how well their respective team did. If Penn State is undefeated and Daryl Clark continues to play well and is effective as a dual-threat quarterback he might win the Heisman. If Texas can navigate their treacherous schedule undefeated or with 1 loss McCoy will win it because he is their leading rusher as well as their passer. In essence, he makes the Texas offense go.
