And Then There Were Three

Up for the Heisman: Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford.

If I had a ballot, I'd put them in that order. Since Ole Miss, Tebow has been lights-out. McCoy is a pretty dominant force who has some Tebow-like athleticism. He has carried the 'Horns to key
wins, but he doesn't seem to will them there like Tebow does. It's the intangibles that put Timmy-boy #1 on my list. Honestly, Tebow wouldn't have made my top-5 at the beginning of the season (Knowshon, yo!), but his leadership really came on after the loss. That's why I'd have him edge out McCoy....close.

Bradford? He's athletic, yes, and a great passer, but, to me, he's a clear third on this list. Very clear.

Now, there's a trend of guys winning the Heisman and losing the BCS Title game. At least Colt doesn't have to worry about that.
