Last weekend sorted out the contenders and pretenders of the college football world, both on a team and individual basis.

Going into last Saturday's slate of games, there were 17 undefeated teams still vying for BCS supremacy. Now, just 11 unbeaten teams are left. And that number is sure to drop in the weeks ahead as several matchups between Top 10 teams will take place, barring any wild upsets, of course.

While some great team efforts were put on display last weekend, (see Auburn, Arkansas and Maryland) a few players had personal statement games that put them on the Heisman Trophy watch as a handful of others sputtered to tumble off of this week's Collegian top five list.

DeShaun Foster, running back, UCLA — Without a doubt, Foster is the leader of the pack. The UCLA junior rushed 31 times for a whopping 301 yards and four touchdowns against Pac-10 rival Washington in the Bruins' 35-13 win.

If there's a better back in the country, he hasn't come to the forefront yet quite like Foster has. He has now gained 803 yards on 143 carries (5.6 yards per rush) and scored eight times. And this is against the likes of the Huskies, Ohio State, Alabama and Oregon State — all of which were ranked when they played the Bruins.

Not surprisingly, UCLA is undefeated and ranked No. 6.

If Foster can keep up this pace, especially against the Bruins' remaining opponents (which include Stanford, Washington State and Oregon), it will be really tough not to vote for him. Even for the usually geographically biased east coast voters.

Ken Dorsey, quarterback, Miami — When you're the top quarterback on the nation's No. 1 team, chances are you'll be high on this list.

While that may be the case for Dorsey, he certainly has done enough to make this list on more than just merit alone.

The junior signal caller had a decent day in the Hurricanes 49-27 dismantling of Florida State after completing 14 of 27 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns while being picked off just once. For the season, Dorsey is now 85 for 132 with 1,430 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Dorsey's next chance to impress the voters comes next Thursday night when the 'Canes host West Virginia.

David Carr, quarterback, Fresno State — Everyone's Heisman darling sparkled again on Saturday in the Bulldogs' improbable 25-22 come-from-behind OT triumph over Colorado State.

Statistically, Carr was spectacular. The senior gunslinger was 28-for-37 with 389 yards and two scoring strikes. But what may have been more impressive was the manner in which Carr lead his team into field goal range with just over 20 seconds remaining to put the game into overtime.

For the season, Carr is 140-for-216 with 1,800 yards, 14 touchdowns and only two interceptions.

Barring any unforeseeable upset, Carr and the Bulldogs should cruise through their remaining schedule and find themselves with very gaudy stats.

Woodrow Dantzler, quarterback, Clemson — Dantzler was a preseason favorite to win college football's most coveted prize. But after he and the Tigers slipped against Virginia, everyone (including us at The Daily Collegian) kicked the senior playmaker to the curb.

However, after his dazzling performance against Georgia Tech, he was back on this list.

Still, not everyone across the country was convinced he was worthy.

They are now though after Woody led the Tigers to a 45-37 victory over North Carolina State.

Against the Wolfpack, Dantzler completed 23 of 27 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns.

He also dantzed (excuse us, danced) for 184 yards on 23 carries for two more scores.

He'll look to keep the magic going when a red hot North Carolina team comes calling this weekend.

Eric Crouch, quarterback, Nebraska — We hate to load up this list with quarterbacks, but in all honesty Crouch has been just as steady as everyone else on this list.

Crouch was one of the main cogs in the Cornhusker's brutish running attack that racked up 641 yards in their 48-7 manhandling of Baylor.

The senior engineer of the Huskers' option attack bolted 18 times for 132 yards and three touchdowns. For the season, Crouch has ran 115 times for 672 yards and 11 touchdowns.

But he's not a one-dimensional threat. Crouch has also completed 55 of 90 passes for 781 yards and four more scores.

He'll look to pad his stats even more this Saturday when the Cornhuskers host Texas Tech.
