Bradford moves ahead; McCoy drops to #3
Well, as we warned you, the early numbers weren't solid. Over the last twelve hours, we've doubled the number of ballots - and the numbers are shifting dramatically.
We've now got Oklahoma's Sam Bradford leading, and Florida's Tim Tebow in second place, but it's a very, very close race. (I'll do the numbers later this week, but I suspect it's the closest race since we started this madness in 2002. This ain't no Reggie Bush landslide.)
Our earliest numbers had McCoy ahead, but Bradford with the most first-place votes. Now we've got Bradford ahead, but Tebow with a slight lead in first-places votes.
Keep in mind that the early declarations tend to come from local partisans of particular candidates - lots of Texas voters for McCoy, Florida voters for Tebow, etc. As ballots roll in from around the country, we'll get a richer view of the outcome.

This matches well with my thoughts. I figured the earliest ballots would have come from those who didn't need to see the Championship games to make up their minds. That would be the bulk of the voters who were favoring McCoy. If the voters were truly undecided, then watching the games would definitely move them towards either Bradford or Tebow.

Haven't been this excited since Obama won the election!

hm, I can't say I wasn't expecting this, but this basically means that Tebow has a good chance to win it. I am rooting for all 3. In my heart I would like Tebow to win, in my mind I am hoping for McCoy, while in my gut I am hoping people don't vote for McCoy. ^_^
Only time will tell.

If SAM BRADFORD doesn't win this Heisman, this trophy should be done by the BCS computers! His numbers are astounding, and the other 2 guys can't even touch him. Yes, Tebow and McCoy are good, but Bradford is the best quaterback any team has seen, and probably won't again any time soon. If he loses, it proves that jealousy wins over honesty. And I thought women were catty!

If Colt McCoy or Tim Tebow win...that is really stupid because BOTH of the dont have near as good as stats as Bradford. People need to forget what teams they play for and look at facts. NOT peoples OPPINIONS
