Other projections? Bradford 2, Tebow 1, McCoy 1

There's a bunch of folks getting into the H------ Trophy prognostication thing. Nobody has as big a sample as we do, but hey, the more the merrier. Here's a rundown:

The HeismanPundit.com/Orlando Sentinel poll has ten voters participating - and shows Sam Bradford narrowly edging out Tim Tebow.
Rivals.com has a poll that includes seven voters. Same story: Bradford narrowly ahead of Tebow.
The granddaddy of the them all, the Rocky Mountain News poll, has ten voters who've selected Colt McCoy over Sam Bradford by the tiniest of margins.
CBS Sports surveyed 32 voters, and has Tim Tebow with a small lead over Sam Bradford.
The Palm Beach Post talked to 15 voters, and while they didn't calculate a winner, they found some strong regional variations.

So, there you have it. A split decision.

So far, so good. In 2002, we projected Carson Palmer as the winner, and Brad Banks as the runner-up based on 127 actual ballots declared. We had the top five correct (though we had Larry Johnson at #5, not #3.) 2002 details.

In 2003, we nailed the top four - in order. On average, we were only 1.5% of the vote off from exactly calling the vote percentages for Jason White, Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning, and Chris Perry. We found 175 actual declared ballots. 2003 details.

In 2004, we nailed the top three in order - Matt Leinart, Adrian Peterson, and Jason White. We found 223 actual declared ballots that included 591 votes. 2004 details.

In 2005, we projected correctly the top five in order - Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Michael Robinson. We found 209 actual declared ballots that included 529 votes, and were able to project accurately that Reggie Bush would be the biggest winner of all-time. 2005 details.

In 2006, we found 136 actual declared ballots that included 353 votes and we projected correctly the top three finalists in order - Troy Smith, Darren McFadden, Brady Quinn. 2006 details.

In 2007, we found 249 actual declared ballots that included 685 votes and we projected correctly the top four in order - Tim Tebow, Darren McFadden, Colt Brennan, Chase Daniel. 2007 details.

In 2008, we found 249 actual declared ballots that included 670 votes and we correctly projected that Sam Bradford would win - while Tim Tebow would get the most first-place votes. 2008 details.
