How tough is this 2007 vote on Trophy voters?

Here's Mike Sorenson of the Deseret Morning News in Utah:

And finally, I've got to get my Heisman ballot in this week but have no idea how to vote. Right now my top candidates are Missouri QB Chase Daniel, Hawaii QB Colt Brennan, Arkansas RB Darren McFadden, West Virginia QB Patrick White and Florida's QB Tim Tebow. If you have any advice, let me know.

And the same consternation from Tom Luicci at the (New Jersey) Star-Ledger:

Q. Did a clear-cut Heisman front-runner emerge from last week's big games?

A. Hardly. Arkansas' Darren McFadden, Florida's Tim Tebow, Missouri's Chase Daniel and West Virginia's Pat White all gave strike-the-pose performances.

Tough choices for all but the hometown writers. And, even, some of them. After all, ya gotta vote your top three.
