1. Shannon Woods, Jr., Texas Tech: Do-it-all back led the Big 12, averaging 139.1 yards a game in Mike Leach's mad, mad world.

2. Marlon Lucky, Jr., Nebraska: And he shared the job with Brandon Jackson, who's now in the NFL.

3. Leon Patton, So., Kansas State: A mighty mite at 5-7, Patton is speedy and hard to find.

4. Tony Temple, Sr., Missouri: The league's top returning rusher, he could see more receiving opportunities.

5. Jamaal Charles, Jr., Texas: Bigger body fueling big expectations in Austin.
