I'm in a bit of a rush tonight, but Chris Todd was just added to a pretty prestigious watch list. Here's the release from Auburn:

AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn senior Chris Todd is one of 10 quarterbacks that have been added to the watch list for the 2009 Manning Award, the Allstate Sugar Bowl announced Thursday. The preseason watch list was expanded to include players whose play during the 2009 season warranted inclusion on the watch list.

Todd has completed 106-of-190 passes for 1,443 yards and 12 touchdowns with just two interceptions this season, while leading Auburn to a 5-2 record. He is ranked 17th nationally in yards per completion (13.61), tied for 21st in touchdown passes (12) and 37th in passing efficiency (149.45). His average of 206.1 passing yards per game is No. 4 in the SEC.

Todd has established a career high in passing yards three times this season, with a season best of 287 yards against Ball State. He tied the school record for touchdown passes in a game with five against the Cardinals, one week after he threw four scoring passes against West Virginia. He became the first Auburn quarterback ever to throw at least four touchdown passes in back-to-back games.

The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes into consideration the candidates' bowl performances.

A list of 10 finalists, who will be determined by a selected panel of national media covering college football as well as the Mannings, will be released on Nov. 30. The winner will be announced on Jan. 14.
