This is going to be very close. Good Luck Trent. I can confirm Robert Smith and Finebaum have Trent #1.

I hope Trent wins but apparently all you have to do is play on the last weekend, win, and have GOod numbers. To hell with the season and the level of competition you play against apparently. RTR!

I've already added a couple of things to the story, including a statement from Richardson. ... and now little bios for each finalist.
FYI, for the fourth straight year, two Heisman finalists will face each other in the BCS National Championship Game.

Honey badger on that list probably hurts cause he'll be stealing votes from Trent in the Southeast.

Nice piece Chris, man I hope Trent wins. The dedication he has put in on and off the field is remarkable. IMO he deserves it!

Exactly. It's extremely frustrating knowing the level of defenses Trent excelled against vs the playground coverages of the big 12. Not much we can do, but it's a great honor to be a finalist.

Luck is the all America team #1 and Unitas winner but RG III is leading the H vote? Doesn't make sense.

You are right RG3 should be the AP AA and unitis winner. I would live TR to win but if griffin wins , I am ok with that. No matter what the competition, rg has done a lot considering the talent he has to work with.

I think Trent would have beat Luck so they added Ball and Honeybadger to take the votes away. Jmho, I know take off my crimson glasses.

Those players were already on the list. The fact that they are invited to NY just shoew that they got alot of votes but they were not late additions to the list.

Thanks Chris, well deserved recognition and accolades by our guys, however Dont'a being 2nd team All-SEC is just laughable. As for Heisman, RGIII or Luck wins it, but TR certainly deserves it.
