-Ryan is 5th in the Scripps Heisman poll, the nation's longest running weekly HT poll.
-Here is a Q&A from today's ESPN chat with Mel Kiper:

Drew (Louisville, KY): Who is your top five for the Heisman trophy? Can Andre actually end up in New York for the dinner at least.

SportsNation Mel Kiper: (1:24 PM ET ) Well, with Woodson, how does he do in these high profile games? South Carolina, LSU, Florida. Games against Tennessee late in the year. They play a lot of big games. Right now, my guy is Darren McFadden. He keeps on putting up big numbers. Tim Tebow is No. 2. He'll make or break his Heisman hopes against LSU on Saturday night. I would put Woodson No. 3. I put DeSean Jackson at No. 4, but if only he continues what he was doing against Oregon. He has to keep playing great football. I put Jake Long fifth. I think he's having a great year at LT. Another guy that will be in the mix if he keeps winning is Matt Ryan. There are a lot of guys in the mix. Who wins it? If McFadden keeps running wild, it will hard to beat him.
