Means it's a tie

Last week Sam was ahead. I assume that they just picked 10 different voters this week and got a slightly different result. Hopefully the voters figure things out before it’s all over.

So does this have anything to do with Sam and the rest of his team being a bunch of classless assholes and besides Colt is an outstanding QB they just felt bad for the way shit turned out?

I think

that a little bit of it is the sympathy vote. But it shouldn’t be. Colt’s completion percentage record, coupled with his status as the team’s leading rusher should cement him as the Heisman. I don’t think that Tebow has an argument (even though he plays against superior defenses) and the head-to-head win over Bradford should do enough to diminish his yardage and TD’s.

Going to be really close, but I’m very optimistic that Colt will win the Heisman. I really hope that Bradford doesn’t get it. It would be a shame for White, Heupel and Bradford to take three Heismans, although out of those three Bradford might be the only one to have promise as an NFL QB.
