Straight from espn.com

I'm leaning towards Griffin, but could maybe be talked into something else. I just feel like Griffin is sorta the only one who did something nobody else ever did. There's always a good RB and QB. There's not always a QB who turns Baylor into a winner with some major upsets.

I was considering an "other please specify" vote, but that's not what espn had up there. Plus it would ruin our prediction

But I am pretty surprised he wasn't a candidate

im really not; the media in college football seems to be incredibly biased against players and teams that aren't from the major conferences.

Let alone not from D1A....ask Steve McNair. I'd take him over Rashan Salaam any day. He didn't even come in second. I think that was Ki Jana Carter (who split votes with Kerry Collins)

I know he shouldnt win the heisman, but pretty stoked that Kuechly won the Butkus.

Also an absolute shame and disgrace that he was left off the AFCA All-America Team.

I think RGIII deserves it more than anyone.  Honestly, the Heisman should go to the player who gives his team the best chance to win and who they couldn't win without.  Griffin III led a traditionally poor Baylor team to wins over TCU, Oklahoma, and Texas, a 9-3 record, while putting up astronomical numbers the same time.  
Andrew Luck is in the same position, but his numbers weren't close to RGIII and his schedule was easier than Griffin's.
Alabama, LSU, and Wisconsin all could have been just as good without RIchardson, Mathieu, and Ball respectively.

Supposedly there was a leak of the results which a few bettors took advantage of...

If the information is accurate then RGIII will be the 2011 Heisman winner.

Wow. A Heisman leak. I don't think that ever happened before. I have to say I think the RBs will split votes, the DB won't get many, and so it's down to Luck and Griff and Griff will win. He just has more buzz and did a more amazing thing. Did you ever think you'd ever see Baylor be a good team in your lifetime? He did for them what Flutie did for BC. It's a college football miracle feel good story.

Griffin was a great choice
