    150 yards and 3 TDs a game against 4 ranked teams is damn good. My vote would go to Gerhart.

    I don't care if Suh only plays defense. If the award truly goes to the most outstanding player, it should go to Ndamukong Suh.

    So basically you tell us not to judge him on one game, and yet you only watched one more game and you are telling us your opinion is thr truth? Dude you sound like a hater and a hypocrite. Every defensive player in CFB and the Pros takes plays off and they aren't going to get a sack every game. Stop spouting all your babbling.

    There is not a clear favorite so I would have to say McCoy or Ingram. Yes, I'm from Austin but we know how they are going to vote.

    Suh is beast, but he did get most of his hype for the Big 12 championship. I don't believe a defensive player is going to win just with the numbers he put up and he's not the best player in college football, just the most dominate defensive player.

    Toby Gerhart did put up great numbers and was Stanford's offense, but Stanford also lost 4 games. They beat the great teams, but then loss to some of the weaker teams. Gerhart was the best running back, but I don't believe he is the best player in college football.

    Tim Tebow had a good season, but it was not Tebow like of the past. He put up better numbers last year and came in third. I don't think he will get many votes.

    Kellen Moore and Case Keenan had better stats then McCoy, but they didn't get nominated. Every team plays some weaker teams and even though Colt didn't have superb games in all his performances, he still found a way to win at the end and led his team to the National Championship.

    Same for Mark Ingram. He wasn't a beast every game, but he put up good numbers all year. Not Gerhart numbers, but he was a big part of Alabama's offense and also led his team to the National Championship. But you also have to factor in that he is a sophomore. He didn't put up Tim Tebow sophomore numbers.

    So with that said, HOOKEM HORNS!!!!!

    wow… ingram is most deserving.. i mean come on.. he plays in the sec .. the hardest confrence. he got over 160 total yards vs florida the number one deffense.. gehart has more yards but also many more carries. ingram splits carries with the other future heisman trent richardson. no one would put suh in the conversation except his big game in texas infront of a large tv audience. his stats from the whole year before that were not that amazing. colt mccy throws alot of pics.. ingram fumble once this yyear for the first time in his career, plus he is a sophmore.its not just bout what he does with the ball.. but he gets his team the wins. mccoy almost lost them the game with nebraska by almost running the clock out..

    Suh all the way. He's the most deserving and the most talented player in college football. He dominated his conference championship more than Ingram did in his. I'm a big SEC fan, but I have to say Suh is the better player than Ingram, McChoke, or Teblow.

    Nebraska lost the Big 12 Championship in spite of Suh's performance – had the officials not bailed Texas out, McCoy would have looked like a dud on the big stage. His stats were no better in a win than they were in a loss. Nebraska did more to lose that game on the final drive than McCoy did to win it (kickoff out-of-bounds and a horsecoller tackle – only reason UT was in FG range).

    I would like to see Suh win it. This is just going to prove that the Heisman trophy is a joke. The Heisman trophy is supposed to go the the best player. Tebow has been shut down, McCoy has been shut down, Ingram has been, and so has Gerhart. Suh has not, there has not been one game were a team has been able to stop him.

    Most teams double team him and some triple team him. Yet he is still able to just destroy offensive lines.
