But Suh still has more votes. If he continues to receive and in the end receives more votes, the difference between 2's and 3's won't matter.

Looks like Suh should have the ESPN/Nissan vote also. The poll is now closed and the results are pretty overwhelmingly in his favor.

I think it might surprise you how many voters simply will not put a defensive player on their ballot. So many of these Heisman voters watch very few games and have zero critical thinking skills.
I was listening to a Iowa radio show last night and an old loon was talking about his Heisman vote. Here were his "thoughts":
1. "I just handed in my Heisman vote, and I put Mark Ingram #1, Gerhart #2"
2. Gerhart is the best player in the country by far. If he were playing for any of the major programs like USC, Florida, Bama, Ohio St., etc. he would win the Heisman by a landslide.
:wacko:
He also didn't know what Suh's name was. The other host asked him if he put Suh 3rd and he didn't seem to remember who he put third, if anyone. He sort of hesitated and mumbled and then said that Suh was the best player in the country. WHAT!!? So to sum up his thoughts, He voted for Ingram, Gerhart is the best player in the country by far, and Suh is the best player in the country. :blink: Yes, this is the type of person who decides the Heisman.
I think Suh will get plenty of votes, but I think Ingram probably wins. Just seems like there is a good chunk of voters who barely know of Gerhart. Apparently Danny Wuerffel was interviewed and said something to the effect of, "I hear the running back for Stanford is pretty good." I don't know if he revealed his vote, but I would guess it's probably: Tebow, Ingram, McCoy.
Like we've said all along, I'll be happy to see Suh get an invite. I don't see him finishing in the top 3, but I think there's a good chance he's 4th.

I might not understand what you are saying . . . but the number of first place votes isn't all that matters. I believe that the second and third place votes also go towards your total. Suh could easily have the most first place votes and not win.

Suh deserves it. Ingram will win it. Not fair at all. I will only believe Suh has a legit shot after I see the final results. Even if he is invited to New York I will not be sold.

"Once we get upwards of 50 ballots, it'll start to take shape. Once we're over 100 ballots, it'll start to look real."
There are now 79 actual votes counted. If Suh is still hanging around after another 20-30 come in, he might actually have a chance to finish in the top two.

If the guy with the most first place votes (Suh)does not get invited, I will smash my 4th grade tee-ball runner up trophy in protest....
