Comment: Bradford had a great freshman season, finishing first in the nation in passing efficiency. Assuming Oklahoma is near the top of the polls throughout the year, Bradford will be a Heisman contender.

Comment: It's tough for a wide receiver to win the Heisman, but if Crabtree can improve on his amazing numbers last season, he has a chance. He might end up splitting votes with teammate Graham Harrell in the end, but keep an eye on Crabtree.

Comment: Easily one of the top three favorites heading into this season. Daniel had a fantastic junior season and could see his numbers improve with Jeremy Maclin and Chase Coffman returning, along with three starting offensive lineman.

Comment: Is he better than Steve Slaton? We will soon find out. If he can run for 1,500 yards and score double-digit touchdowns, he has to be considered a candidate no matter what teammate Pat White does.

Comment: This is not a mistake, Edwards is one of the best players in college football, even if it is I-AA. Remember Steve McNair? He finished third in the Heisman voting in 1994 while at Alcorn State and if Edwards can put up 2,000 passing and 2,000 rushing, he has to be considered.

Comment: The best player all-around player in college? Maclin did everything as a freshman, including a 12.3-yard punt return average with 4 TDs and a 24.2 kick return average. Maclin will be used more this season, which makes him a legit Heisman candidate.

Comment: White is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation, but he has never been a legit Heisman candidate. He might split votes with Devine, but if White can help West Virginia to the title game, he deserves an invite to New York.

Who do you like? Can Tebow win another Heisman or will the voters pick somebody else. Lots of great candidates out there this year.

I am not a sports analyst nor do I claim to be one, but I tell you this as a FAN of the GAME. If the HEISMAN TROPHY goes to TEBOW it needs to be renamed to the "STATISTICAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD". I’m not going to get on here and be
