Sorry if this has been posted before, i must have missed it.

 

Anyway, who would you vote for and why?

 

My pick is Peterson. The whole Freshman bias thing is bullcrap. I think he was the most valuable player in college football because he stepped it up in big games (okla st and texas 200+ yards) and made Jason White even better than he is.

 

I also think Leinart gets a bit too much credit for the number he puts up in an offense-first pac 10 with a ridiculous amount of weapons on that team.

Haha, I was just in the midst of posting this same poll

 

Personally I'm going with Jason White. Put up great numbers and came threw late in the season and the voters all will of noticed Leinart having a subpar day against UCLA while White had a fantastic game.

 

My 2nd choice would be Peterson who was absolutely amazing for OU.

Reggie Bush is the best player in college football. He will split the western votes with Leinart and it should then fall to Peterson.

Yeah, the White-Peterson is kinda like the chicken or the egg dilemna, if you know what i mean. Which one opens the field up for the other more?

Most explosive/entertaining, yes. Best? I'm not so sure of that, just IMO.

I'd vote Peterson because like Krush said, he carried them in their toughest games, but I bet White gets it again.

 

Is Alex Smith going to be in NYC for the presentation? Asking, b/c ESPN makes it seem like it's only the 2 USC guys and 2 OU guys.

Had White not been so good last year, I would of went with Peterson based on the belief that Peterson helped open things up for him this year.

 

However, White did a hell of a job last year and did it again this year. So I'm assuming the running back, while its definately helpful to White, wasn't the reason he put up good numbers again.

 

Peterson is the reason why I think OU is gonna win the national championship though. White/Peterson is an unbeliavable combo.

 

Reggie Bush is possibly the most explosive football player in college football though.

I think it's announced at 5 CST...

Two heisman's for a guy who might not win a national championship, that's a tough accomplishment.

I think Oklahoma has a better chance to win that game because of their defense, and their offensive line.

Nah, I think its just 4 guys going to NYC. Bush/Leinart; Peterson/White

I think Oklahoma has a better chance to win that game because of their defense, and their offensive line.

Oh ya, OU's defense should help controll USC's offense as best as possible, but at the same time USC's one major weakness is their rush defense, imo, and having Peterson is going to prove a major factor.

 

Still, I look for this game to be oustanding, kind of like the Miami-OSU game a couple years back.

How about none of them?

 

I'm tired of the Heisman going to the most popular player on the best team. J.J. Arrington had more yards than Peterson and Bush. Jason Campbell had a better passer rating than Leinart and White. The Heisman is just a product of hype, it's not about determining the best player.

 

And then people wonder why Heisman winners stink in the pros.

Cedric Benson. Slow and Steady wins the race.

So who should win Spiff?

So who should win Spiff?

Let's switch it up and say Alex Barron.

My thoughts exactly. I just see Leinart and Bush splitting votes and people shying away from Peterson b/c of him being a Freshman, which would give it to White.

How about none of them?

The heisman has absolutely nothing to do with who will be the best NFL player.

 

I don't buy this.

Peterson should be the unanimous choice, but being a freshmen will hurt him...unfortunatly!

Two in a row for White. And a National Championship Title.

I would have to go with Alex Smith as who I think should win. But White has his second all but wrapped up in my opinion.

Stupid f***ing East Coast bias.
