Tim Tebow
He won it last year, why not this year? Tebow could join former Ohio State running Back Archie Griffin as the only players to win the award twice. He was the first sophomore to win the award last year.
Tebow has the fifth highest quarterback rating in the nation and has the most ridiculous touchdown to interception ratio I've ever seen with 28 touchdown passes and only two interceptions this year.
Tebow has faced 8 of the top 30 ranked defenses in the country and threw for 18 touchdowns and zero interceptions against them. He also had 9 of his 12 rushing touchdowns against those teams.
The media absolutely loves this guy, and that I believe will help his vote total.
And he has he team ranked No. 2 in the BCS standings and will be playing for the national title in January.
Sam Bradford
Bradford is the highest rated quarterback in the nation. He has thrown more touchdown passes than any other player with 48 and he also had 5 rushing touchdowns. He only threw 6 interceptions this year.And, how about this statistic, Bradford set the record for the most touchdown passes in the first two seasons of a players career. The old record was 56. Bradford has 84 in his first two years.
Bradford's Sooners are ranked No. 1 in the BCS and will be playing for the national title.
Colt McCoy
McCoy has put together an amazing season with a less talented offense around him. While Tebow has receivers such as Percy Harvin and tight end Aaron Hernandez, and Bradford has Juaquin Iglesias TE Jermaine Gresham, McCoy's receivers aren't recognizable names.McCoy has set the single season completion percentage record (unless something incredible happens in his bowl game). He has completed over 77% of his passes. McCoy has not only led his team in every passing statistic, but also leads his team in rushing yards.
McCoy has more passing yards and more rushing yards than Tebow. He accomplished that in one fewer game. He has two more total TD than Tebow.
To top everything off, McCoy and the Longhorns beat Bradford and the Sooners at a neutral site. The argument can be (and has been) made that Texas should be playing for the national title instead of Oklahoma or even Florida. Instead Texas is No. 3 in the BCS.
With all that being said, your Heisman Trophy winner is....
Tim Tebow!
Tebow has become the media darling. McCoy has been made out to be the third wheel in a two man Heisman race by ESPN. Bradford doesn't have the same coverage that Tebow does, and the Texas/Oklahoma controversy is going to cost each of the Big 12 QBs some votes.
Any of these guys would be a worthy choice, but I believe Tebow will be touting the hardware when the night is over.

I like Tebow as well. However,I don't know if he's going to win the award. From what I've seen so far polls have Bradford taking home the hardware. I do agree that Bradford and McCoy can hurt themselves by splitting votes among the Big XII people. Their numbers are just that much higher that I think Bradford may take it home because he is also in the national championship game.
I think Tebow is going to win again too. I want McCoy just because he's the most valuable to his team.
But if Tebow wins it I can't really argue he's real valuable to Florida as well.
