    Interesting site, Della ... thanks for pointing it out.

    FWIW, I know of a voter who's not listed there yet, out my way. He said he voted for Griffin, Luck, Richardson (which might be the way they finish).

    That site counts on people like you, Coco, to send in votes if you see them. Not that you have to, but people who feel comfortable doing that are what keep that site going. And media people who send in their own picks, I suppose.

    The person I'm thinking of usually writes a column explaining who he voted for.

    So at that point, I or someone else can let Stiffarmtrophy know.

    Not trying to be vague here, but also not wanting to totally out myself, either!

    My prediction:
    1) RGIII
    2) Luck
    3) Richardson

    I think that's fair, too.

    Re: Heisman Trophy finalists announced: Who ya got?

    Did everyone see where Paul Finebaum said he left RGIII off his ballot because SEC defenses would have never allowed Griffin to put up those type of numbers? Is that really what this has become? Even though his vote is his opinion, this still seems completely irresponsible to me.

    This is similar to rationalizing that Trent Richardson wouldn't be the player he is if he was at Vanderbilt. Or Montee Ball never could have scored that many touchdowns if he played for Minnesota.

    Why can't voters simply base their decision on what they saw on the field?

    Not sure why Finebaum gets a pass for this when Craig James is excoriated for having Boise State at No. 23. Similar levels of jack-assery.
