The Blue Workhorse

That’s right folks. The votes have been tallied. There were 73 ballots cast with each having an outcome on the overall standings (including the final ballot I received, which moved Michael Crabtree back into 4th place).

We received ballots from as far south as Florida, as far west as California and Oregon, and as far north as the great white north of Canada. Thirteen different players and one unit received votes while another 12 players and one unit were noted as honorable mentions.

Without further ado…

(drumroll) Your 2008 Sports Blog Heisman Trophy winner is…

Due to a large number of ballots being sent in Thursday afternoon and evening, the announcement of the 2008 Sports Blog Heisman is going to be pushed back to Friday morning.
After I get off work at 7 in the morning, I will make all the final tallies and announce which college football player has earned [...]

As I wrote earlier this week, we will be awarding the Sports Blog Heisman Trophy to (FCS) college football’s player of the year tomorrow.

I am taking in the ballots and compiling the votes of Sports Bloggers & Internet Sports Fans who are answering the question of “Who Is Your Heisman?” If were able to cast your ballot for the Heisman Trophy award (which will be given out this weekend), who would be on your ballot.

I have received several interesting ballots with some intriguing selections, including some of the candidates listed at the bottom of this post, but there is still time to cast your ballot!

There was a great competitive matchup for the SEC title and then there was a blowout where the opposition never even looked prepared for the Big XII title.

The winners, Florida & Oklahoma, of these games will now faceoff for the right to be crowned the BCS national champion.

Another week means another re-evaluation, and thus, we give you our new The Blue Workhorse College Football Top 25 after Week 14. Some things to note from this week’s rankings:

If you follow college football, then you know that the Heisman Trophy is to be presented to the FBS college football player of the year this weekend. What I’m planning to do is to compile a sample (as large as possible) of who Sports Bloggers & Internet Sports Fans would cast their ballot for, if [...]

Oklahoma won impressively yet again, and it was just enough to bump them past Texas and into the Big XII championship game. With a win, they appear to be destined for the national championship against the winner of the SEC championship game. Too bad Texas can’t replace Missouri in the championship game. Now that would make for an entertaining championship weekend.

Texas Tech was impressive once again as they dominated a strong Oklahoma State team 56-20. Alabama escaped a tough road contest in Baton Rouge. Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma all were dominant in conference wins.

The big upset, however, came in Kinnick Stadium as the Iowa Hawkeyes knocked off former BCS top contender Penn State thanks to Daniel Murray’s game-winning kick.

WOW! That’s about all that could be mustered after that final play of the Texas Tech/Texas ball game. What a game between two teams still with national championship aspirations. The win only makes this week’s Texas Tech/Oklahoma State game even bigger.

Speaking of big games…how about what was, before the season began, supposed to be the game of the year - Georgia/Florida? What a bore. Georgia turned the ball over repetitively and Tim Tebow capitalized every time (5 total TDs: 3 running, 2 passing).
