Very interesting that Suzanne Halliburton. She based a tiebreaker on career achievement. However the other three's votes kind of surprised me. I also joined in to comment on that article .


What do you think?

I agree with you. For her to have a vote and vote the way she did, she should get her vote taken away from her. The award isn't a career achievement, it's a yearly award, given to the best player THAT year. If I had a vote, I would vote for either Suh or Gerhart.

A Boy Named Suh should win it.

A Boy Named Suh should win it.

Nice Johhny Cash reference.

Wow, why is McCoy even in the top 3. He was out performed by Shuh, Gerhart, and Ingram. Career award, what a joke.

 

[Rickzcards]

Kinda not surprised that a woman wouldn't make the right choice. Of all the names thrown out McCoy didn't belong with them this year.

She needs a little five fingers to the face action

my ballot would be


Ingram, Suh, Tebow


I chose Tebow over Gerhart because of the special set of challenges that a guy carrying the pressure of repeating a national championship on his shoulders. Gerhart had a great year, but he's playing at Stanford where there is no pressure.

Yes, this is partly a statistical award, but you can't ever look at stats alone in college football because they tell an incomplete story.

If you want to base all this on stats, let's just give the heisman to Case Keenum.
