Good News: It is unlikely that Jason White will win the Heisman

Bad News: Adrian Peterson may very well win it this year, and he has a strong chance of winning it in either (or both) of the next two years before bolting for the League

Heisman Projection

Projection (with about half of the # of ballots the website wants to make an accurate projection):

Leinart 24.2%
Peterson 23.0%
White 16.7%
Bush 15.3%
Smith 11.9%

Tues night: White dropping, Bush climbing

We've now crossed the halfway mark in comparison to last year. With 93 ballots counted, things would be fairly clear by now -- except that this race is very, very close.

It does appear that all the late votes are trending toward Reggie Bush. White (16%) is now dropping back again away from Leinart (24%) and Peterson (23%), and might drop into a tie with Reggie Bush (15%)

Bonus Bad News: If they give Jason White another 3 or 4 years, who knows how many Heismans he could win...

I never knew that the press voted for the heisman... I thought only past trophy winners voted. Huh.. guess you do learn something new everyday.

I thought almost everyone in America voted for the Heisman, I am surprised you don't have a vote ScarletInMyVeins.....

Seriously, it seems like there are about 500 or more people that vote for the Heisman.

White lost it for this year with his last two games last year IMO. As for Peterson, even if he wins, he won't win another because OU will lose White and something like 130 OL starts next year. Expectations will be sky high and it will be much harder for him to reach them. To me Bush is the guy, who if he won this year, could repeat, though TG2 may have something to say about that, expecially if he plays both ways.

hmmm perhaps this will work out well.. could turn ginn into a bit of a media darling with the story line "Ohio State super sophmore protects the original super sophs NCAA record by winning his own heisman"

I actually think Archie's pretty safe from all sides. The potential of Ginn is incredible, of course. But, so what if someone does win twice? It doesn't take anything away from the magic of Archie Griffin, original rocket on rollerskates and all-time good guy in my books!

On that website we should include as many highlights as possible of Ginn returning punts for TD, of unbelievable seperation on 55-yard TD catches from the slot, and if he plays any D, highlights of him laying the wood and returning INTs for TDs
