Despite numbers that pale in comparison to previous years, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is back on top of the long-running Scripps Howard Heisman poll with a third of the season remaining.
Ten voters select their top five players each week, and Tebow garnered three first-place votes and 35 points overall. Alabama running back Mark Ingram actually garnered more first-place votes (4) but is currently running in second with 33 points.
Houston quarterback Case Keenum (31), Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen and Texas QB Colt McCoy round out the top five.
No disrespect to St. Timothy, but if his season is what qualifies as Heisman-quality this year, can the Downtown Athletic Club just skip the 2009 award altogether?
Anyway, in an effort to open myself up to further abuse, I’ll give you my Top Five:
1.) Ndamukong Suh - DT, Nebraska2.) Case Keenum3.) Mark Ingram4.) Eric Berry - S, Tennessee5.) Colt McCoy
Feel free to fire away, but if there is ever a year for the best, most dominant defensive player in the country, this is it.
