My prediction for the Heisman Trophy award which will be presented tonight on ESPN at 7 p.m. Texas time:

1. Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford
2. Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
3. Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
4. Colt McCoy, QB, texas
5. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

In the end, I think Gerhart's consistency will win out over everything else, and the West Coast media will push Gerhart to the Trophy. Mark Ingram's position on an undefeated team who will play for the national championship makes him formidable, but his poor performance against Auburn hurt him. Suh should win the Trophy, as I have made abundantly clear, but I think the voters won't choose a defenisve player who came ot their attention too late in the season, despite the fact that he is the best college football player in the nation this year. McCoy's performance against Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship did as much to hurt him as his performance against A&M helped him. Since the Nebraska game is the last one voters remember, I think it is safe to say McCoy won't win the Trophy. As for Tebow, he's had a pedestrian year by the standards he has set for any QB, and his forgettable performance against Alabama sealed his position in last place. When you're remembered more for your tears while losing than you are for your performance on the field, you aren't going to win the Heisman Trophy.
