And the lucky five making the trip to New York are:
• Tim Tebow, QB/Sobering Inevitability, Florida
• Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
• Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
• Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford
• Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Notable omissions sure to set the internet merrily ablaze with screams:
• C.J. Spiller, RB/Philosopher-King, Clemson
• Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State
Arguments you're about to hear, reasonable and otherwise, from all sides until your ears tear themselves from your heads in protest:
• "Tim Tebow was a bright spot in a down offensive year for Florida and is only being included because he's a media goldmine!"
• "Colt McCoy's performance in the Big XII championship game ought to count against him just as much as Ndamukong Suh's counts in his favor!"
• "Mark Ingram, to hear some Trent Richardson fans tell it, might not even be the best running back at Alabama!"
• "Kellen Moore is a sophmore and will get his chance but has to wait his turn despite putting up monster numbers out in front of an undefeated team!"
• Seriously, that Spiller snub is just atrocious. There's got to be video footage of him performing an emergency appendectomy on the sideline somewhere that could sway a recount.

very disappointing that Spiller didnt get in there
he’s been electric all year, and without his turf toe injury and a more experienced OL, he has well over 1500 yards rushing

Is it me?
Or is it because of the fact that BSU’s QB has the best stats of any passer in the country that the Hiesman people are so up for RB’s this year?

Toby Gerhart

Ndamukong Suh
Far and away the most dominating, game-changing player in college football this year. A pity he won’t win.

Suh
That guy is a freak of nature.
Ingram will probably win it, because he meets the most important qualification (“plays a so-called skill position, as if the linemen don’t have to have any particular set of skills, for a team that will be in the national title game”). But it absolutely should be Suh.

Suh
Spiller should sue someone…he was just robbed, beaten and left for dead in an alley somewhere. I agree the Suh was dominant this season. No question. To have Spiller simply omitted is atrocious. Total yards surpass those of Reggie when he won the award (playing for a glamour school). Those early season losses for Clemson affected more than they may have expected apparently…

Shame Spiller didn't get in
I believe Suh should win the Heisman, hands down. He is the most dominating DT I have seen in many years. How often do you see a guy sack a quarterback with one arm while his other one is being held by an opposing lineman, only to throw the other lineman down to the turf as the quarterback is sacked
