NEW: Discuss this topic in the Google+ community for SEC fans.
Not only will Alabama and LSU be playing each other for the National Championship this year in New Orleans, but Trent Richardson and Tyrann ‘Honey Badger’ Mathieu will be taking each other on in the Heisman Trophy race as well.
The 77th Heisman Trophy will be presented in New York on Saturday night.
Along with Richardson and Mathieu, Stanford’s Andrew Luck, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III (RG3) and Wisconsin’s Montee Ball will be on hand for the award ceremony.
If you’re an SEC fan, does it get any better? What a year.
Let’s bring home another Heisman.
They’ll either give it to Luck or Griffin. There’s no way a third-straight Heisman candidate comes from the SEC.
especially from the great state of ALABAMA
I’m predicting RG3 gets it… Good for Mathieu though to make the finalists.
SEC fatigue will play a part in a non-SEC candidate winning I believe especially given the rematch in the BCSCG.
RG 3 is the most deserving of the non-SEC candidates. And since we know they’re not gonna give a 3rd in a row to go along with the all SEC BCS, he’s got my vote!
I don’t understand how, now I may just be crazy, but how can a player that failed a drug screening get a 1 game suspension instead of being suspended for the season. And now he’s a Heisman candidate! He’s lucky to be playing for the Mad Hatter who doesn’t give a shit about how he wins. His Thugs get in a bar fight a week before the season started, after curfew, and are allowed to come back. Others fail drug screenings, “Thug Badger”, and are allowed to play. This brings to mind “Thug U” a Miami. Les Miles should be ashamed of himself as the Coach of a major college football program, reminds me of Bama when we had Shula, and no control of the team when he was at BAMA.
we already have 3 in a role. didnt tebow ingram and newton win them back to back to back? or was someone between teblow and ingram?
Sam Bradford won the Heisman in 2008
2007 – Tim Tebow
2008 – Sam Bradford (Oklahoma)
2009 – Mark Ingram

The problem with the Heisman race is that it has become a regoinal popularity contest. We will see the Andrew Luck dominate the west coast vote, the Big 12 country all go for RG3 and the folks up north vote for the Wisconsin fella. With two SEC guys, they will likely split votes in the southeast.
How about we develop some BCS-like formula for the Heisman? :)
