Tebow tabs Texas QB McCoy as Heisman front-runner
A week later, Tebow appeared on ESPN's College GameDay and said he was likely to vote for Missouri's Chase Daniel. But after consecutive losses, including a head-to-head meeting with McCoy, Daniel has slipped from atop Tebow's list.
"I haven't seen everybody, but I don't think there is anybody above (McCoy) right now," Tebow said. "I'd have to look to see if there is anybody else right now, but I haven't seen anybody that's above him that's for sure."
Certainly not the 2007 Heisman winner.
"Ah, no," Tebow said. "He's OK."
Tebow knows there's plenty of time for things to change, too. After all, Boston College's Matt Ryan and Oregon's Dennis Dixon were Heisman front-runners around this time last year, and neither ended up making the trip to New York for the presentation.
Tebow made a late surge and became the third player in school history to win the Heisman. Now, he has a vote.
"I think it's cool," he said. "You have a responsibility. To have a vote for the Heisman is a pretty cool deal and something you should do wisely and have a well-educated vote."
