But if the award were determined by strength of schedule, Tebow would be a landslide winner. In 13 games this season, Tebow faced eight of the country's top-30 defenses. In those eight games, Tebow completed 63 percent of his passes with 18 touchdowns and no interceptions. Nine of his 12 touchdown runs also came against top-30 defenses. Conversely, Bradford faced only two of the country's top-30 defenses, and nine that ranked 66th or worse. McCoy didn't face a defense ranked better than 65th and had his way with eight defenses ranked 86th or worse.

He'll get all the east coast votes, while Bradford and McCoy will split the western votes.
I personally would be happy with McCoy or Tebow, but not Bradford.
Bradford lost the Red River Rivalry to McCoy. No way he should win the Heismann after McCoy beat him in that game.

I also would pick Tebow but there is little chance he is back next year. His morals and personal beliefs are the only reasons I would say there is even a chance of him returning next year. As an LSU fan, I surely hope he goes into the draft.

From a purely financial aspect going now would probably make a lot more sense than waiting until next year.
Of course with the Lions most likely having the #1 pick that could be a reason not to go.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

That sounds logical, but that isn't how the voting has played out. Tebow will get the most #1 votes, but he won't win. Almost all cards that have either Bradford or McCoy as #1 have the other as #2 with Tebow being #3. Bradford will win.

Stats did determine the voters decision this time--because the top three candidates all played the same position, they looked at the players individual stats.
"If the award were determined by strength of schedule", Tebow may have won, but we all know that the keyword in that case was "If"--and the answer was, it "isn't" determined by strength of schedule.
This award is about individual acheivements/success no matter who you are playing. You will never find multiple top players from across the country who all play identical strength of schedules--it just doesn't happen. You have no choice but to take the field against the teams that are on your conference schedule, and a limited number of non-conference opponents that are usually scheduled years in advance. Then the "chips fall where they may" and you see who did the best after the season is over.
Congrats to Bradford. That was a lot of TD passes this year!
Great pick. It was interesting to see how the voting went around the country.
