It doesn't really matter.....
Tebow has done better in college, and McFadden will play and make more in the pros!!! Does anyone else think of him as a twin of Adrian Peterson??

I agree that smith at least deserves a look, but i don't think he will get it. Anyone who is on the verge of breaking the single season rushing record at least deserves to be considered.

Listening to somebdoy filling in for Cowherd yesterday mentioned a voter he was talking to voted for Smith #1 and then Tebow #2. So he's getting recognition, but won't win it obviously.

honestly, no.
less explosive, less injury prone, fumbles more (poor carrying technique)
he will be good, but i think hes more of a tiki barber.

He is University of Central Florida's running Back. He is 181 yards short of breaking Barry Sanders' single season rushing record with one game to play.

Kevin Smith has about much chance to win the Heisman as I have to win a MVP trophy in the SuperBowl.
Should be McFadden, but Tebow could get it, but then again a underclassman has never won it.

Really? Only Seniors have won it? That isn't right, I'm certain there have been several underclassmen that have won it in the past. I'll look them up.
Here are the underclassmen over that past 25 years who have won the heisman:
1982 Herschel Walker Georgia RB Jr.
1988 Barry Sanders Oklahoma State RB Jr.
1989 Andre Ware Houston QB Jr.
1990 Ty Detmer Brigham Young QB Jr.
1991 Desmond Howard Michigan WR Jr.
1994 Rashaan Salaam Colorado RB Jr.
1997 Charles Woodson Michigan CB Jr.
2003 Jason White Oklahoma QB Jr.
2004 Matt Leinart USC QB Jr.
2005 Reggie Bush USC RB Jr.
If you meant by underclassmen sophomore or younger, you are correct. I was under the impression that underclassmen meant anyone but a senior, is my definition wrong?

Reggie Bush won it as a junior.
So did Leinart.

by technical definition, an underclasman is a sophomore or freshman. Juniors and seniors, at least by the national media's measure, are considered uppperclasmmen. That's why they're saying it that way.

Oh, I was just going on the "only seniors" thing that belcherboy said.

That makes sense than. For some reason I always thought an underclassmen was anyone who isn't a senior.

Kevin Smith really should be a finalist....he has the second most yards ever for a running back in a single season yet doesn't become a finalist?? maybe its my central florida bias though, who knows
