[If the SEC doesn’t do well, then all my blustering about how dominant the SEC is (and therefore why 'Bama’s record is more respectable than an equal record in another conference) makes me look foolish.] Go Ole Miss! Beat Texas Tech! I think you can do it! [gulps audibly] ---

So, Heisman voting… who do you want to win? Who do you think will win? My order is: 1 - McCoy (QB Texas) 2 - Bradford (QB Oklahoma) 3 - Tebow (QB Florida) 4 - Hunter (RB Oklahoma State) \<–Mildly homer vote 😃 5 - Harrell (QB Texas Tech) I think Bradford takes it, even if McCoy was better. Tebow is a distant 3rd of those three. ---

I \*want \*Bradford to win although I think it increases the likelihood that he goes pro and that would make me very sad. If he does, I very much doubt that OU’s next year’s QB is currently on campus. [The Daily Oklahoman](http://www.newsok.com/bradford-tops-heisman-exit-poll/article/3329246?custom_click=lead_story_title) (Warning: Page contains video) did an exit poll of 100 Heisman voters which ordered them Bradford, McCoy, Tebow. They sampled across the country and the only region that Bradford didn’t win was the South. What really surprises me is that Harrell wasn’t even invited to New York.
