Did Weinke at least wrap things up in Florida?

ESPN.com

We'll be tracking the top six players on our weekly Heisman Poll each Saturday. Here is how those six players performed on Saturday. The ESPN.com Heisman Poll is voted on by Lee Corso, Todd Christensen, Bill Curry, Rod Gilmore, Mike Gottfried, Kirk Herbstreit, Mel Kiper, Jr., John Mackovic and Gene Wojciechowski.

CHRIS WEINKE -- FLORIDA STATE
Chris Weinke
Weinke
Breaking it down: We have a winner in Florida! ESPN.com is projecting Chris Weinke as the winner ... among Florida voters, that is. Hey, if we learned anything about making projections, it's not to make them. So while his performance may have clinched things, we'll wait until next month's official count comes in.
Saturday's Performance: Beat Forida, 30-7
Passing: 23 of 44, 353 yards; 3 TDs, 2 INTs
Season Statistics
Passing: 266 of 431, 4,167 yards; 33 TDs, 11 INTs

JOSH HEUPEL -- OKLAHOMA
Josh Heupel
Heupel
Breaking it down: This won't be a game for the Heisman highlight reel, except maybe for the final drive when he went 7 of 8 for 60 yards and a clinching touchdown. The Sooners won the Big 12 South title -- as expected. Now it's up to him to get them to the national championship game in January with two more wins over Oklahoma State and K-State.
Saturday's Performance: Beat Texas Tech, 27-13
Saturday's Statistics
Passing: 24 of 38, 248 yards; 1 TD, 2 INTs
Rushing: 1 carries, 5 yards.
Season Statistics
Passing: 237 of 353, 3,018 yards; 17 TDs, 9 INTs
Rushing: 51 carries, 113 yards; 6 TDs

DREW BREES -- PURDUE
Drew Brees
Brees
Breaking it down: It's pretty clear he's not going to win the Heisman, but he is going to the Rose Bowl. Heck, he's taking the Boilermakers to Pasadena for the first time in 34 years. The last Boilermaker to do that? Bob Griese. Not bad company.
Saturday's Performance: Beat Indiana, 41-13
Passing: 20 of 29, 216 yards; 1 TD, 1 INTs
Rushing: 10 carries, 85 yards
Season Statistics
Passing: 286 of 473, 3,393 yards; 24 TDs, 12 INTs
Rushing: 85 carries, 534 yards; 4 TDs

LADAINIAN TOMLINSON -- TCU
LaDainian Tomlinson
Tomlinson
Breaking it down: He must love playing against UTEP, which just can't stop him. A year after gaining a NCAA I-A record 405 yards, he left his mark on the WAC once and for all by becoming the conference's career rushing leader (5,089 and counting) -- becoming only the ninth runner in NCAA history to go over 5,000 career yards.
Saturday's Performance: Beat UTEP, 47-14
Rushing: 33 carries, 305 yards; 3 TDs
Season Statistics
Rushing: 343 carries, 1,984 yards; 21 TDs

SANTANA MOSS -- MIAMI
Santana Moss
Moss
Breaking it down: Not much of a factor in the Canes' latest victory on the way to a possible national championship-game appearance. But he did lay a nice block to spring Jackson.
Saturday's Performance: Beat Syracuse, 26-0
Receiving: 3 catches, 20 yards; 0 TDs
Rushing: 0 carries, 0 yards; 0 TDs
Punt Returns: 4 for 52 yards; 0 TDs.
Season Statistics
Receiving: 40 catches, 684 yards; 3 TDs
Rushing: 4 carries, 144 yards; 2 TDs
Punt Returns: 32 for 445 yards; 3 TDs

DAMIEN ANDERSON -- NORTHWESTERN
Damien Anderson
Anderson
Breaking it down: It was a bittersweet day, really. While he scored four times and the Wildcats did all they could to earn a share of the Big Ten title, Northwestern won't be going to the Rose Bowl and Anderson no longer leads the nation in rushing.
Saturday's Performance: Beat Illinois, 61-23
Rushing: 39 carries, 179 yards; 4 TDs
Season Statistics
Rushing: 254 carries, 1,914 yards; 22 TDs
