Overall Team Records:
Oklahoma - Bradford led his team to a 12-1 record with their sole loss to a top 5 team and along the way won the Big 12 championsip while setting an NCAA record for scoring over 60 points in 5 consecutive games.
Texas: McCoy led his team to a 11-1 record and a tie for the Big 12 South division title while also setting an NCAA QB record for completion percentage. Their sole loss was to a top 5 ranked team.
Tebow: Led his team to a 12-1 record and the SEC championship. Their sole loss was to an unranked team at home.

Now, after reviewing all of this information, can anyone explain why people seem to think Tebow is more deserving than Bradford or McCoy? In exactly what categories does he deserve this honor over the other candidates and don't say it's his leadership skills because Bradford and McCoy have been just as prominent leaders of their teams with more impressive stats. If Tebow wins this arawd again it shows without a doubt that the Heisman is no longer based on merit, but who the media had already decided deserves it not based on records or stats but on who makes a better story

The only reason I like Tebow is for his character on and off the field... His numbers don't show much, he has one it before, don't think he derserves it this year due to his performances. But, you have to admit, he is a pretty top notch guy. I dislike OU and Texas so it pains me to think I am about to say this but... I think Bradford deserves it this year. McCoy's team has been screwed this year in my opinion, but Bradford has done more.

T-T-T- Tebow should win for the second year in a row. You cant rate leadership, but if you did, he would win hands down. His numbers are a little down from last year, but he did something more important than scoring 50 touchdowns. He led his team to an SEC championship against the number one team in the nation, and a birth in the BCS championship game.
The heisman is given to the most outstanding player in collegiate football. What he has done as far as intensity and intangible things is unlike Sam and Colt. He brings his intensity to all three phases of the game. Getting them riled up. He makes EVERYONE around him better.
He makes fewer mistakes than the other two candidates. He has only two interceptions to go along with his twenty-eight passing touchdowns. He hasn’t been asked to run as much this season, but still has raked up 564 yards rushing and twelve touchdowns (more than Colt). Keep in mind, he's going against a tough SEC defense on a regular basis. I think its safe to say the big twelve doesn't make their living on that side of the ball.
Tim is tougher, Tim makes less mistakes, Tim is clutch, and lets face it, he's just an all around good guy.
