They won't give it to a freshman, and I don't think White will get it either. Because he had like 58 years of eligibility, I'm afraid he would have to be " White* " if he won 2, of which he didn't even really deserve the first one. I think Archie is safe.

Peterson winning the Heisman would be a joke. Not saying he isn't good or anything, but I think Leinart has been more important to his team.

Big, big update: Leinart pulls away
Well, in the last 14 hours, we've gotten fifty more declared ballots, bring our total up to 143. That's more than 2002 (when we correctly projected Carson Palmer), but not quite as much as last year (173).
So, the big news: Matt Leinart is now pulling away. He's got 26% to Adrian Peterson's 22%. Leinart is now leading in every region except the Southwest (where White and Peterson lead, duh) and the Mid-Atlantic (where Alex Smith leads.) In New England, he's tied with Adrian Peterson.
Also: Alex Smith has now jumped into a statistical tie for fourth place with his high school teammate Reggie Bush. Both Alex Smith and Reggie Bush continue to advance their climb against Jason White.
If the tide turns against him just a little bit more, Jason White could wind up fifth overall. In the political world (where I work), it's an adage that "undecided voters break against the incumbent" - and that may be happening for Jason White. If folks hadn't decided early, they're probably not for the guy who won it last year.
Finally, two more Heisman candidates are on the list: Cal RB J.J. Arrington picked up his first votes (three #2's) and a vote appeared for Chad Friehauf, the star quarterback from Colorado School of Mines, a Division II program. Friehauf is a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award, considered the D2 Heisman. Of course, the Heisman is not restricted to Division I programs; it's just always been that way by tradition.

Surprising so many of these people vote for a freshman.
