Actual Votes 2005

Notes:

  • We've added #1 votes for Bush from all the SHNS voters into the projection, since the final projection is unanimous. We've also added a bunch of "Unknown SHNS Voter" lines that include the #2 and #3 votes of voters in their poll that haven't otherwise declared their votes. (It was relatively simple this year to deduce the #2 and #3 votes.)
  • Buddy Martin of the Sun Herald wrote that he cast a tie vote for the #3 spot (Leinart & Quinn), but we've left it blank since we don't believe that's allowed on the ballot.
  • We've confirmed via a personal contact that Eddie George voted for Bush #1, Young #2 despite his earlier endorsement of Young on Cold Pizza. He also claims to have voted a tie at #3 between Leinart and Quinn - but we'll ignore that, since it's not allowed by the Trophy Trust.
  • As in years past, we've gotten inside tips on a few votes on the condition that names be kept confidential - so we've listed those voters as Anonymous Voter.

Miscellaneous Votes:

  • Ballot #923, the fan vote, includes a #2 vote for Maurice Drew (UCLA) and a #3 vote for Brodie Croyle (Alabama)
  • Bob Condotta, Seattle Times, voted #3 for Jerome Harrison (WSU).
  • Mark Kiszla, Denver Post, voted #3 for Mason Crosby (Colorado).
  • Don Doxsie, Quad City (Iowa) Times, voted #3 for Garrett Wolfe (Northern Illinois).
  • Dave Krieger, Rocky Mountain News, voted #3 for Elvis Dumervil (Louisville).
  • Kevin Haskin, Topeka Capital-Journal, voted #3 for Elvis Dumervil (Louisville).
  • Matt Leinart, 2004 trophy winner, voted #2 for LenDale White (USC) and #3 for Dwayne Jarrett (USC).
  • Mike Garrett, 1965 trophy winner, voted #3 for LenDale White (USC).
  • David Jones, Pittsburgh Patriot-News, voted #3 for Jerome Harrison (WSU).
  • Tommy Deas, Tuscaloosa News, voted #3 for DeMeco Ryan (Alabama).
  • Joe Posnanski, Kansas City Star, voted #3 for Nick Hartigan (Brown University).
