Suh won't get it. He's gonna win all the defensive awards, but he hasn't been hyped as much as the other candidates. Colt was likely in the lead after the A&M game...but not after the Nebraska game. XD I'd say Ingram is definitely the frontrunner at this point.
He hasn't
been hyped as much, but just as many people saw Colt McCoy choke on a fat one as they saw Suh choke Colt McCoy.
Because he was choking Colt McCoy, you see.
At any rate, Tebow and McCoy are both clearly out of consideration for the top spot. That's practically a given. I'm willing to bet that the votes for them are the guys who went ahead and locked in their votes at the beginning of the season, at their earliest opportunity (watch the rest of the season? Why bother when you have
football Jesus and
Colt What a Cool Name that'd look great on a trophy McCoy.
Suh is a pure defensive player, and likely to spark a few bitter ex-linemen to swing his way (plus any midwest folk who are keeping their bias but moving from McCoy).
Ingram had one,
just one, bad game against Auburn and now he seems to be getting hell for it. More focus needs to be on the fact that he demolished his way through the number one defense in the country, though.
Gerhart ran all up and down the PAC-10. I think he has had a statistically better season? I'm not sure, but he's going to gobble up the west coast vote.
Most voters didn't put their votes in until today. I'm trying to see just how many of the ballots I can find, but I haven't had much luck. I think Suh and Gerhart appeared on the most ballots, however (this is about five total and they appeared on maybe 3)
EDIT: Also Clausen and Tate both decided to go to the NFL following this season. On Weis' reccomendation. Ahahahaha, way to give Notre Dame one final finger on your way out, fat man. Whoever comes in after you is going to be left nothing but bones and dirt.
They've already been turned down by one guy...
