    I thought about starting this thread last year, but for reasons I can no longer remember, I didn't. After today's announcement, I thought it might make for an interesting discussion.

    Any of the three would be a worthy of the trophy. What it came down to, for me, was how would the teams fare without the quarterbacks. I think OU and Florida would be fine; maybe not national title contenders, but would play in a New Year's Bowl. If McCoy wasn't playing for UT, they would have more than one loss.

    Bradford will win it. QB on great team that was in the spotlight every week for the last month. It's his. McCoy suffers because all his big games came early. It'll be Bradford, Tebow and McCoy. Maybe McCoy sneaks in second if there's enough Tebow backlash.

    Here's my question: Why are only three players making the trip?
     
  5. Bradford will win it. I think McCoy finishes second with Tebow very close behind.

    I don't think any of them are the best player in college football, although the Heisman winner rarely is the true best.

    McCoy has a great shot next year.

    Because nobody cares about Lubbock, Texas.

    It does seem odd that Harrell wasn't at least invited, but there was no chance he was gonna win it after Tech's debacle against OU.

    That's exactly right. Harrell should have been invited but after OU stomped a mudhole and walked it dry, he and Crabtree weren't going to win.

    This should be Bradford's award.

    Even in the team's one loss he still threw five touchdowns. He's a stud. Tebow had it last year and although he had a fantastic last half of the season, Bradford's numbers are better. And McCoy will be the frontrunner for next season.

    After no sophomores for what, 72 years, we're gonna have two in a row. Maybe they can start recognizing defensive players one of these days, too. No, Charles Woodson doesn't count. That Heisman vote was a travesty.

    Tebow should win it, but Bradford figures to win the closest three-way race in memory.

    And the championship game will show the voters the error of their ways.

    I think Tebow will win that game, but Bradford's had the better year.
