The race is tight. But the frontrunners include Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.
"I’d imagine he’s right in the thick of it,” Sooner coach Bob Stoops said. "But it doesn’t get decided right now.
"We have three games left. Everyone is waiting to see how everyone finishes up.”
A sampling of the electorate from all six Heisman voting regions revealed that Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell appears to have an edge on Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and Bradford heading into the final fourth of the season.
But Bradford will have a chance to settle the debate down the backstretch, which includes a home date with Harrell and the Red Raiders in two weeks.
"Obviously, any college football player would feel honored to be considered for the Heisman,” Bradford said. "But that’s something I realize, if we don’t win, if we don’t take care of business, it’s probably something that doesn’t happen.”
