My Heisman Ballot

I was asked to do a Heisman ballot for The Blue Workhorse, so I figured I'd post it here. It's funny. When I started thinking it through, my ballot didn't turn out how I thought it would. So here goes...

1. Toby Gerhart - The stats just don't lie. He leads the nation in carries, yards, and touchdowns. He's also fourth in yards per game. Where would Stanford be without him? Probably not in a tie for 2nd in the Pac-10 and ranked 19th in the country.

2. Ndamukong Suh - Nebraska played for, and nearly won, the Big 12 title. Have you seen their offense? Enough said.

3. CJ Spiller - I initially wanted to put Spiller at the top. If I were a defensive coordinator, I don't think there is any single player I'd be more afraid of facing than Spiller. I dropped him because his stats were nowhere near that of Gerhart's, and because he plays in the Almost Considered a Conference.

I have to give an honorable mention to Mark Ingram. He hasn't had a Heisman season in my opinion, but I have a lot of friends that went to Alabama and they'd kill me if I left him off altogether.
