NCAAF - Who will win this year's Heisman Trophy?
Congrats to Sam Bradford (QB) - Oklahoma
Background:
With this year's season well under-way, the competition is heating up.
-Colt McCoy was impressive in his last 2 games, while defeating the #1 team in the country. He also leads his team in rushing.
-Sam Bradford "looks like the most NFL ready player" (according to ESPN). His loss to Texas did hurt, but he's still ranked #2 in pass efficiency.
-Chase Daniel will face a big test against Texas this week. Will this help or hurt his chances?
A few early season hopefuls (Chris "Beanie" Wells, Matthew Stafford) seem to have dropped off the radar...for now.

Two major factors to consider:
Being on a top-10, or even better #1, team is paramount to stats. See: all previous winners. The VAST majority of them were from a team in the top 10, most of them in the title game.
Due to the Big 12 all playing each other, we will find out which team is best among those fantastic teams, and likely, who will emerge atop those Big 12 quarterbacks.
The key game is now Texas Tech and Harrell vs Texas and McCoy this weekend, for first in the Big 12, and likely #1 in the nation and #1 in the Heisman.
As for the Texas - Texas Tech game...that could be a good one! Just check out the mixed wagers on that question:

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/8888443/
Last Saturday against #1 Texas, A 36-of-53 evening for 474 yards and two touchdowns against no picks also makes Harrell the top-ranked player in the Heisman race.
Go Tebow!
Bradford - 75%
Tebow - 25%
4 quarterbacks invited to the presentation. Such an incredible quarterback class that the potential #1 pick in the draft and most dominant receiver in the country can only cheer on his own quarterback, who has almost zero chance to win now.
Bradford will pull out the Heisman with a moderate vote lead.
HERE IS THE SCARY PART:
1. Bradford is a true sophmore and cannot go to the NFL yet.
2. Tebow is a junior who has said he will stay, and who's game doesn't translate perfectly to the NFL.
3. McCoy has claready said he is staying for his senior year.
Also, Bradford and Tebow will play for the national title game as Heisman winners, surely that has never happened.
May be a long shot, but just sayin'....this ain't over yet! :)
Florida jumped to #1 in the AP Poll, while we wait for the BCS rankings to come out.
Some pretty good buys with the long shots here....

Tebow wins the Maxwell Award for most outstanding player:

The bad...
There's a "Tim Tebow song" (I could only stand to watch for about 30 seconds!):
