Actual Votes 2003
An important note: The Scripps-Howard poll of ten official voters is included in these results. Because all ten voted for White, we included those hard votes here. Another eight voted Fitzgerald #2, and so we arbitrarily included those votes on 8 of the 10 voters. If we get specific info on specific voters, we'll continue to refine these arbitrary placements. Those voters are marked with (SHNS).
Also, some votes aren't listed in the chart below. Those votes:
- Christine Brennan gave a first-place vote to Miami of Ohio quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
- Nick Horvath gave a second-place vote to Michigan State quarterback Jeff Smoker
- Nick Canepa gave a third-place vote to UCLA defensive end Dave Ball
- Dean Juipe gave a third-place vote to Oregon State tailback Steven Jackson
- Dave Newhouse gave a third-place vote to Colorado State quarterback Bradlee Van Pelt
- Mike Griffith gave a third-place vote to Auburn tailback Carnell Williams
- Pat Dooley gave a third-place vote to Florida cornerback Keiwan Ratliff
- Don Doxsie gave a third-place vote to Northern Illinois tailback Michael Turner
- Clay Henry gave a third-place vote to Arkansas offensive tackle Shawn Andrews
- Jeffrey Parson gave a third-place vote to Miami of Ohio quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
- Bob Snyder gave a third-place vote to Miami of Ohio quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
- Steve Wieberg gave a third-place vote to Miami of Ohio quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
- Steve Batterson gave a third-place vote to Iowa lineman Robert Gallery
- Bob Barry gave a third-place vote to Virginia Tech tailback Kevin Jones
- Guerin Emig gave a third-place vote to Texas Tech quarterback BJ Symons
Some miscellaneous notes:
- While we had a vote for ABC's Craig James based on what he said on an 11/29 broadcast, it appears that he changed his vote - but won't say what it is. So, we've taken his votes off the board (along with the only #3 vote for Oklahoma receiver Mark Clayton.)
- We're getting a lot of reports about Artie Gigantino at WWLS saying that he voted for Manning #3, and a lot of reports that he voted for Perry #3. So far, we've been unable to verify either way. So, for now, it's blank.
- We had been getting conflicting reports about Mel Kiper - but it turns that he is not (and has never been) a voter.
- StiffArmTrophy.com has learned that Ty Detmer did not vote this year. (ESPN Radio)
- Former winner Gary Beban disclosed on ESPN Radio that he voted for a quarterback, but wouldn't say which one.
