Looks like ESPN has a page where fans can vote on their favorite for the Heisman award, and the player who receives the most  votes will get one Official vote.  Let the popularity contest begin…

My vote goes to Tim Tebow, hands down - and that’s not just because I’m a Gator!

Every season, thousands of arguments between friends occur on the subject of college football. Some quarrel about different teams, others take aim at certain coaching decisions. But no subject in the sport causes more of an uproar than the Heisman Trophy, given annually to the best player in college football. There are several different theories on who is most deserving of winning the Heisman, and since the award’s description itself doesn’t provide the exact criteria needed to win the statue, it is not always clear who should win.

Some say it should go to the best senior on a good team - kind of like a lifetime achievement award. If that were the case, then this year’s winner probably should be Oregon QB Dennis Dixon, who (before a knee injury) led the Ducks to a top ten ranking and accounted for 29 total touchdowns (running and throwing).

Another argument is that the best future pro prospect should win the award. Too many times, as with Jason White and Eric Crouch in recent memory, the award has gone to somebody who hasn’t gone on to success in the NFL, or even to any NFL career at all. This, in many people’s opinion, tarnishes the award’s value. In these people’s minds, Arkansas running back Darren McFadden - who has run for over 1,500 yards and is the number one player on Scouts Inc.’s 2008 Draft preview - should be the award winner.

A different theory says that statistics alone should decide the Heisman Trophy. Arguments could then be made for Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree - who has over 1,800 receiving yards and 21 touchdown catches - or LSU defensive tackle Glen Dorsey, who has wreaked havoc on opposing quarterbacks and running backs all season long with 55 tackles and six sacks.

But if the award goes to the best all-around player, regardless of position, age, draft hype or team record, then the only clear choice for the 2007 Heisman Trophy is University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.
