Dec. 5
Below is the final "ballots" for the Heisman by the CBSSports.com Experts.
Baylor's Robert Griffin is the runaway winner, gaining all the CBSSports.com first-place votes. After throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for two more against Texas, the voters were all impressed with Griffin this season.
Does anybody else have a chance to win it? Probably not, but Griffin will get competition from Alabama's Trent Richardson, Wisconsin's Montee Ball and Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
Another player that has an outside chance of finishing in the top 3 is LSU cornerback/returner Tyrann Mathieu. The "Honey Badger" once again was a game changer in the SEC Championship, returning a punt 62 yards for a touchdown.
