that would be great, but would never happen. I think McCoy will win it :puke: I really like Kellen Moore though (not to win the Heisman ) and to think he is only a So. |

How I'd vote: 1. Suh 2. Gerhart 3. Ingram 4. McCoy 5. Tebow It will probably end up being the complete opposite of that, except with McCoy winning it. I just feel like they decided a long time ago that was who they were going to give it to. |

THere isn't always 5. I am not sure how they determine who will come to New York. i think it has to do with the percentage of votes. |

I would say Kellen Moore is the player most deserving to replace anyone on that list. Colt McCoy quadrupled the number of interceptions that Moore threw.....you can say what you want to about the competition Moore played against, but McCoy wouldn't have put up the same numbers that Moore did playing against that level. The Heisman should go to the Rodgers brothers at Oregon State: Running back Jazquizz Rodgers: 255 carries, 1,377 yards, 20 rushing touchdowns; 74 catches, 509 yards, 1 TD; 1 of 1 passing for 14 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver James Rodgers: 87 catches, 1004 yards, 9 TDs; 54 rushes for 289 yards, 1 TD; 920 return yards. That's a total of 4119 all-purpose yards for the duo and 31 touchdowns scored. And, BTW, Jazquizz is just a sophomore and James is a junior. |

are you serious? it's like the inane heisman committee all over again. i.e. team wins mean more than anything else. the heisman is (or more accurate was) about the best college player. no way tebow and mccoy come close to that this year. |

Tebow's stats are down, but Moore's stats are blown way up by competition, whether people want to admit it or not. Spiller has a legitimate argument, but not against Tebow or McCoy, but against Suh. |

Check the numbers. Kellen Moore got picked three times, McCoy twelve. Competition can't explain that away. Secondly, McCoy has one of the best receivers in the game on his side. Combine that with the fact that McCoy has been nothing more than a dink and dunk quarterback and you'll see that his numbers wouldn't improve that much. Lastly, the Big 12 this year has been pretty weak. Sagarin ratings will tell you that Texas' SOS was 44th, roughly a touchdown per game tougher than Boise's. The disparity between the two player's stats was wider than that. |

FWIW I think it should go to the most outstanding player in college football regardless of what team they play for, what the team record is, or what position they play. |

Saying McCoy wouldn't have put up those numbers is a bit baffling to me because last year, he in fact did put those type numbers, and against much stiffer competition. I'd take McCoy as my QB any day of the week over Kellen Moore, and that has nothing to do with Moore being bad. I think he's a very, very good QB, but I think McCoy is great. |

That's a nice sentiment, but it hasn't ever been that way. It's sad that it's a mostly offensive oriented, media driven award; it's just the way it is. Fortunately for all the other players that may be equally deserving, or even more deserving, the award doesn't have any affect on how well anybody plays in the NFL. |

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
