Archie Griffin isn't concerned about it, but plenty of Ohio State University football fans are. This season, the former superstar college running back could lose his distinction of being the only man in history to win two Heisman Trophies as college football's best player.

The threat, as one might expect, comes from the South, where Florida quarterback Tim Tebow rules. He won the Heisman last season and is a strong candidate to win it this year. But Ohio State could have a say in Tebow's chances.

Running back Chris "Beanie" Wells, who has often been compared to Jim Brown, is a legitimate Heisman candidate himself. With the No. 2 Buckeyes being loaded on offense, Wells could outshine Tebow, win the Heisman and Griffin would remain the only two-time winner.

"I've heard that quite a bit, actually," Griffin said. "But as I've said for a long time, records are meant to be broken. I certainly thought that by this time someone would have won it twice."

Three reasons Ohio State will win it all

Experience: Almost every starter is back from last year's team, which was pretty darn good. Seniors James Laurinaitis, Malcolm Jenkins and Alex Boone aren't sticking around for the Capital One Bowl.

Talent: There are first-round NFL draft picks all over the field, and Chris Wells has the tools to collect the Heisman Trophy in December. Quarterback shouldn't be a weakness, either.

Schedule: The Buckeyes have to beat USC in Week 3, but the Trojans are breaking in a new QB. Advantage: OSU. The other huge game is Oct. 4 at Wisconsin. The Bucks are 2-3 against the Badgers under Jim Tressel.
