By Dave Curtis
The Orlando Sentinel
Sam Bradford, Soph.,
QB, Oklahoma
Buzz: No more sophomore stigma, and a dynamic offense that returns almost everyone, makes Bradford the favorite.
Odds: 2-to-1
Tim Tebow, Jr.,
QB, Florida
Buzz: A second award will be tough with opponents gunning for him and USC transfer RB Emmanuel Moody stealing touchdowns.
Odds: 3-to-1
Michael Crabtree, Soph.,
WR, Texas Tech
Buzz: The Biletnikoff winner as a freshman with 125 catches, 1,861 yards and 21 touchdowns won't see those numbers shrink much.
Odds: 15-to-1
Percy Harvin, Jr.,
WR, Florida
Buzz: Games like Vanderbiltwhen he became the first Gator with 100 yards rushing and receivingwill boost his profile.
Odds: 15-to-1
x-Kevin Smith, Sr.,
RB, UCF
Buzz: A strong junior season gets him noticed, a strong senior season gets him to New York with a chance
Odds: 30-to-1
