So who should wint the Heisman this year. I think Reggie Bush is the most valuable player but I think the award should go to Adrian Peterson for being the most outstanding football player....

Adrian Peterson by far ! ! ! Running away with it.
The Heisman is nothing but a joke. Cedric Benson, the best running back in the country wasn't even invited. Total bs.
Amen... Sooners suck!spinscan said:

Closer than I thought they were. But I still think Benson is going to be a great, great NFL running back. And Peterson only being a freshman will get overlooked but he was very, very good also.

Ill have to agree...Benson was ROBBED.....I did vote for Peterson though, because that kid has some wheels and insane field awareness.....and for a freshman to be putting up #'s similar to Benson thats pretty damn good, although I dont think they'll give it to the fish.......I thought it was Benson's for sure, but I guess the voters had there heads in their asses......Jason White did pretty good but hell he already received one, give it to another deserving person....If he wins Ill be pissed.......JT
I think Benson is a very good back. The reason I voted for Peterson was because the guy put up his numbers when the team needed him. I know it's not fair to Benson, but how did Benson do against Oklahoma. In my opinion, the teams performance in that game killed any hope he had at the Heisman unless he rushed for well over 2K yards. Not fair but that's how it works. Watch and see Leinart will win based on his big performance against ND.
The Benson and Peterson are virtually indistinguishable save UT's poor performance against Oklahoma. So I think you have to give it to Peterson. He's helped his team win when it counted.

Why are people voting for Bush! I agree the guy is awesome but he isn't even a full time running back on his own team. You guys do know we are talking about Reggie Bush the football player don't you?????
The funny thing is the ones complaining about Benson being robbed are from Texas.
I voted for Peterson, he wont win because hes a freshman but he is deserving. He was the reason Oklahoma won a couple games and he kept them in the hunt for the title.
All the candidates are deserving but here is my breakdown
Peterson > White > Smith > Linert > Bush

Reggie Bush gets my vote...he is the most impressive college player I have seen since Marshall Faulk was running all over weak competition at SDSU. He just looks a cut above everyone else to me.
im partial because i go to usc. BUSH !!
Josh Gregory. Where is the poll for Josh Gregory? That mother f#cker can play some ball!
White should repeat. Benson got hosed by not even being invited. At least he won the Doak last night. Edwards won the Bilitnekoff, that's all I care about. Bush is an exciting player, but he doesn't get enough touches. Don't be surprised when 2 UM guys are in NYC soon.
Leinart. Look at what he's done with a young group of WR's. His best WR (Steve Smith) was injured for most of the season too.

you're joking, right? he's not a full time running back because A) Lendale White is the better pure running back and B) he is so versatile that they line him up a wide out and he returns kicks. he may not be someone deserving of the heisman, but to say that just because he doesn't line up in the backfield on every play somehow means he is the best player in the country is ridiculous.

As a matter of fact I was kidding. I love Reggie!!!
I just wanted to see someone make an arguement for him. I agree he is the most exciting player in football. Without him SC loses a couple of games. I just think him platooning with Lendale will keep him from winning the trophy.

Smith wasn't even going to start. Coming into this season the WR's were supposed to be:
1) Mike Williams ------Going to be in the top 5 of this years NFL Draft another screw job by the NCAA.
2) Witney Lewis ------Played very well last year was outstanding this year in football camp. Academically ineligible. Guy played football in Oxnard with my nephew. Nephew tells me the guy is now overweight and doesn't know if he is going back to SC. Say it isn't so.....
3) Steve Smith ------ Didn't play much at all last year. Played fairly well when the Trojans got robbed two years ago. Remember that game Carson Palmer against Iowa. Iowa is gonna smash on the weak Pac 10 team..... errrrrr WRONG!
4) Dwayne Jarret --- True Freshman, was so frustrated that he wasn't going to get much time this season that he considered going home to (Michigan?)
Leinart is a very good pick. He will probably win. He's played all season with USC's 3rd 4th and 5th string wideouts and still had an outstanding year. He should have won the Heisman last year.
Can you imagine what could have been with Williams and Lewis this season. It would have been awesome......

They didn't win the big game. That is what killed him. This stat line explains it all.
OU vs. TX of course OU won the game 12 - 0
Benson; 23 rushes for 92 yards 0 TD's
Peterson; 32 rushes for 225 yards 0 TD's
We were all watching!
That performance killed his shot at the Heisman. If you reverse the score and the stats for that game, Benson wins the award and TX is preparing to get their a$$es whipped by USC.
TX is lucky to playing in the BCS at all. Don't think I'm a hater either. I like the longhorns, freakin live in TX. Expectations are always high but they rarely deliver.
Just my .02

I can't believe Leinart's in 4th.... He will probably win the thing.
