It's fitting, isn't it? In the wildest college football season in the history of the sport, there are many names that can make a valid argument for the Heisman Trophy. My question to the esteemed SportsJournalists.com brain trust is very simple. You have a ballot, one-through-five. Who receives your Heisman votes?

For those who care--and even if you don't--here's my ballot:
  • Colt Brennan
  • Darren McFadden
  • Tim Tebow
  • Glenn Dorsey
  • Dennis Dixon
 
McFadden/Tebow
Tebow/McFadden
Doesn't matter

Tebow. Guy is approaching 50 touchdowns. Game over. Only guy in SEC history with 20 rush/20 pass TDs in a season.
 
If I was putting together a college football team, McFadden would easily be the first guy I'd pick. But Tebow has had the most outstanding season in 2007.
 
Chase Daniel
Darren McFadden
Tim Tebow
Colt Brennan
Dennis Dixon

What are the distances on Tebow's rushing touchdowns? I'd be interested in seeing that. Not that he's not great, but most of those are from 1, 2 and 3 yards, I'd wager.

  • Western Kentucky: One yard touchdown run.
  • Troy: Touchdown runs of three and 16 yards.
  • Tennessee: Touchdown runs of seven and five yards.
  • Mississippi: Touchdown runs of nine and six yards.
  • Auburn: A two yard touchdown run.
  • LSU: A nine yard touchdown run.
  • Kentucky: A two yard touchdown run.

  • Vanderbilt: Two one-yard to touchdown runs.
  • South Carolina: Touchdown runs of five, one, three, two and five yards.

  • Twenty rushing touchdowns that covered 85 yards in eleven games. That's an average of 7.727 yards per touchdown carry.

and one longer than 10 yards

and 85 divided by 20 is 4.25
 
Think McFadden could throw 20 TD passes if he got enough snaps?

1. McFadden
2. Tebow
3. Dixon
 
1. Tebow
2. McFadden
3. Winning QB of KU/MU game
4. Colt Brennan
5. Losing QB of KU/MU game

I'm a idiot when it comes to math. And other things. You, sir, are correct. I divided yardage by the eleven games.
 
Buddy of mine has a vote and he's basically said it's Tebow, McFadden and the QB for the winner of the KU-MU game in his top three.
Can't say I necessarily argue, especially since I believe Tebow's going to/should win it.
 
Depends on what Tebow does today.
Some of Tebow's stats are from he's the only offensive option, while McFadden has Felix Jones and that white fullback who looked like a world beater against LSU.
 
I don't make up my mind until the last regular season game is done.
Tebow is the leader but I'm going to look at stats and video clips, then make up my mind a day before the ballot is due (Love voting online).
