Heisman Finalists
1. Chase Daniel
2. Colt Brennan
3. Darren McFadden
4. Tim Tebow
Wrap: All four finalists had great seasons, and unlike in years past, any of these finalists are likely to be able to win the award. It may all depend on the voter’s definition of the Heisman trophy and whether they believe an underclassman worthy of winning the award. Chase Daniel, the surprise of the group, was helped tremendously by his Missouri Tiger’s late season surge to the top of the rankings, but may be unable to capitalize on the Heisman hype due to his team’s loss in the Big 12 Championship Game and his poor performance in it. Colt Brennan was also assisted by his team’s BCS hype this year, as his Hawaii Warriors stormed to the only undefeated season in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Although his numbers do not compare favorable to his statistics last year Brennan is helped by his team’s overall performance. Darren McFadden is considered by many to be the best overall player in college football, but had some very unimpressive games earlier in the season, only to be resurrected by strong performances in games against South Carolina and LSU. Finally, the possible favorite coming into the ceremony, Tim Tebow has had a season for the ages, combining the system of the Florida Gators with his all around athletic ability to score 51 total touchdowns. In his performances all season, he showed the grit and ability of a Heisman trophy performer, but may be hindered by his underclassman status.
Before we reveal our BCS Know How Heisman prediction, let us remind you that BCS Know How has correctly predicted the winner of the Heisman trophy every year of the newsletter’s Heisman special publication. Enjoy our prediction!
BCS Know How’s Heisman Prediction:
1. Tim Tebow
2. Darren McFadden
3. Colt Brennan
4. Chase Daniel
Wrap: In the end, Tebow’s underclassmen status will not be enough to overcome his historic season. McFadden will have the unlucky fate of being voted second place in the Heisman balloting for two straight years, as he lost in a less than close race against Troy Smith last year. Brennan and Daniel will round out the top four, and expect either Pat White or Dennis Dixon to finish fifth as the two, although uninvited to NYC, had masterful seasons of their own.

Heisman Watch: Finalists
Colt Brennan
Brennan, who started the season on the list of Heisman hopefuls, but failed to be a constant presence with his comparatively less than spectacular season, used the exposure of his BCS bowl-bound Hawaii Warriors and the last two regular season games of his college career to lock up an invite to NYC. In match ups that secured a BCS bowl bid for
Darren McFadden
Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow enters the Heisman finalist group with the possibility of becoming the very first underclassman to win a Heisman trophy. In compiling unmatched statistics both through the air and on the ground, Tebow proved his worth in the defending national champion’s offense. In combining to score 51 TDs, 29 passing and 22 rushing, Tebow made his way into the record books as the first quarterback in the FBS history to rush and pass for 20 and became the single season record holder in the SEC for rushing touchdowns. The only downsides to his candidacy, other than his age, include
Chase Daniel
Chase Daniel, the leader of the surprising Missouri Tigers is an equally surprising Heisman finalist. Among the four finalists, Daniel is the only one to not appear in any preseason Heisman hype or hoopla. Daniel had to prove his way to NYC this year, and did most of that demonstration against bitter rivals
