They were all outstanding players in their own right, and NOT buoyed by their supporting cast- as evident by their strong pro careers.... and the fact that most people looking back still think they should have won that year....
It's not all about numbers...translation = Peyton Manning lost to Charles Woodson.
Ken Dorsey put up big numbers yet rode a 34 game win streak to a 5th place Heisman finish. His own teammate Willis McGahee placed 4th.
White will get it due to the fact that he plays for Oklahoma. Fitzgerald is by the far the best player in college football. 22 receiving tds is rididulous not 2 mention he was double and triple teamed all year. If Pittsburgh didn't have a disapointing year he'd be a lock for the Heisman
Fitzgerald won't win the Heisman...#1 reason being is that he is only a sophomore and the in the past ump-teen years of handing out this award it traditionally goes to seniors. And a person must remember that the voters for the Heisman aren't exactly "open-minded". Also another point against Fitzgerald is the fact that he is the quarterback of an unranked team. However, I see Fitzgerald as lock in for next season if his performance continues.
I have to agree with f4lcon...White was a lock in for the title, up to last week when they "dropped the ball" and lost in the Conference title Game. However, White has been hyped all season along with the remarkable season of the Sooners....However time is on his side with this one... Remember that the ballots were sent out in mid- November and needed to be received back by yesterday. There is a very good chance that many of the ballots were mailed out prior to the game.
But overall I would go with Chris Perry... He won't win the Heisman...but maybe he will get drafted to play with the Packers.

Toga darling you are beautiful and I do love a woman that can talk football (I am a Dallas Cowboys fan and I dislike the Pack & I think Favre is over-rated). But I love the tradition in Green Bay and the History, so I respectfully dislike the Pack. I believe Favre is 1-8 against the Cowboys in his career.
Back to the heisman...I think Fitzgerald is a WR not QB, but you probably know that it was just an error. I like your point on the time thing...excellent point the ballots are probably mailed prior to his bad game. Even with 1 loss the 40TDs and 8Pick will win the Trophy - IMO
