The latest Scripps Howard News Service Heisman poll is out and Matt Leinart has strengthened his lead.
The Scripps Howard poll is comprised of actual Heisman voters from every region. It has correctly predicted 15 of the last 17 Heisman winners.
Leinart received 8 out of a possible 10 first place votes, while Jason White picked up the other two.
The Scripps Howard Top 5 (first place votes in parentheses)
1. Matt Leinart, USC (8)–44 points
2. Jason White, Oklahoma (2)–40 points
3. Kyle Orton, Purdue–32 points
4. Cedric Benson, Texas–18 points
5. Reggie Bush, USC–9 points
Others receiving votes: Alex Smith, Utah, 2; J.J. Arrington California, 1; Maurice Drew, UCLA, 1; Ciatrick Fason, Florida, 1; Andrew Walter, Arizona State, 1; Carnell Williams, Auburn, 1.
Once again, this poll results illustrate the gap that exists between the hype generated by the non-voting pundits and what the actual Heisman voters are actually thinking about.
