Who should win the Heisman?

Well if you don’t already know, tonight is the announcement of this year’s Heisman trophy.  If you don’t know this, you are either not a football fan, or you have been under a rock somewhere.

This year’s finalist are a decent batch, but probably not the most impressive ever:

Tim Tebow – QB – Florida

Darren McFadden – RB – Arkansas

Chase Daniel – QB – Missouri

Colt Brennan – QB – Hawaii

My money tonight is on Tebow.  He has been great all year.  He runs for TDs as well as passes for them.  His only drawback might be his age.  The trophy has never been given to a sophomore.

I think McFadden has a shot also.  I think if he wins it, it will be for the body of his work at Arkansas.  I think it is arguable that this year was not his best year in his collegiate career.  Do you remember last year when he was the Heisman runner up?  Personally, I thought he deserved it more last year than Troy Smith.  If only I had a vote…

 Daniel is a scrappy young Texan that just knows how to win.  He is undersized, but is a baller.  He has a bright future, but I just don’t think that he will win tonight.

Brennan is the longest shot just because of where he plays.  This is unfortunate because I think he is as talented as any of the others, but honestly, no one saw him play.  Also, they didn’t play anyone decent other than Boise State.  He has the disadvantage of playing in a week conference.  This is the major thing that Tebow and McFadden have going for them the most… They played in the very tough SEC.  Daniel has the Big 12 going for him…

I would expect a fairly close vote this year as none seem to be the true standout.  Maybe we will see a close race.

I have to admit that I am a little depressed each year on this night.  This truly means that college football is over except for the bowls and the bowls tend to be somewhat boring at times except for the big ones.  I am facing another 9 month waiting period…  I HATE IT!!!!

Well somehow I will survive…
