The latest Scripps Howard News Service Heisman poll is out and Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith has taken a commanding lead.For those of you not familiar with SHNS's poll, it is made up of 10 voters, two from each of five regions of the nation, who vote for five players each week.
While it is not always an accurate gauge of the Heisman race, it is a good indication of where the hard-core working-media portion of the electorate is leaning.
This week's poll, with each players points (first place votes in parentheses):
1. Troy Smith, QB, Ohio State, 49 (9).2. Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia, 30.
3. Garrett Wolfe, RB, Northern Illinois, 22.
4. Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma, 18.
5. Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame, 13.
Others: Chris Leak, QB, Florida, 9 (1); Erik Ainge, QB, Tennessee, 3; Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech, 2; Reggie Nelson, DB, Florida, 2; Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan,2.
The voters: Kirk Bohls (Austin (Texas) American-Statesman); Scott Cain (Arkansas Democrat Gazette); Dennis Dodd (CBSSportsLine); Vahe Gregorian (St. Louis Post-Dispatch); Mike Griffith (Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel); Randy Holtz (Rocky Mountain News); John Lindsay (Scripps Howard News Service); Michael Lewis (The Salt Lake Tribune); John Rohde (The Oklahoman); Michael Vega (The Boston Globe).

What are these idiots smoking? Slaton and Wolfe play no one. Leak got a first place vote? How stupid must they feel after Leak's and Wolfe's performance this past weekend. It's between Quinn and Smith and no one else, unless you think high school football should be considered.
