Is Tebow slipping in Heisman?

It seems Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is slipping in the Heisman Trophy race, through no fault of his own, unless you pin the reason the Gators didn’t play in Saturday’s SEC title game on his shoulders.

But not being in Saturday’s spotlight while Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel played in the Big 12 title game gave Daniel an extra week to display his talents and make a case for himself among voters.

Also, the big game Arkansas running back Darren McFadden had against LSU the day after Thanksgiving has really given life to McFadden’s campaign.

Don’t forget McFadden finished second last year as a sophomore. Some voters will not vote for a sophomore figuring he has another chance to win it. McFadden certainly had a Heisman-worthy season this fall, and with him rumored to be leaving for the NFL, voters might feel this is their last chance to give him the award.

Or, they might feel Daniel deserves the Heisman because he got his team to a title game.
