For the second week in a row, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy swept all 10 first place votes in the Heismanpundit.com/Orlando Sentinel Heisman Poll, a weekly survey of Heisman voters from around the country.

McCoy, who led No. 1 Texas to its third-straight win over a top-11 ranked team, was a unanimous selection after throwing for a career-best 391 yards against then-No. 6 Oklahoma State this past weekend.

“Colt McCoy keeps playing at a ridiculously high level and he’s the main reason Texas is ranked No. 1,” said one voter. “He’s led the Longhorns to consecutive victories over Oklahoma, Missouri and Oklahoma State and if he can do it this week against Texas Tech he should start working on his acceptance speech.”

Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell collected six second-place votes and 33 total points to finish second, setting up a showdown with McCoy this coming Saturday.  Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford was close behind with 32 points.

Defending Heisman winner Tim Tebow bounced back into the top four with 14 points.  His Gators team will take on Knowshon Moreno (10 points) and Georgia on Saturday.

This Week’s Poll, with points (first place votes in parentheses):

Colt McCoy, QB, Texas–50 (10)

Graham Harrell, QB, Texas Tech–33

Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma–32

Tim Tebow, QB, Florida–14

The Heismanpundit.com/Orlando Sentinel Heisman Poll is made up of 10 Heisman voters from across the country and will be conducted each week during the college football season. The idea is to get a good sense of voter sentiment as the season progresses. The panel votes for five players each week. Tabulations are made on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, with five points for a first-place vote, four points for a second-place vote, three points for a third-place vote, two points for a fourth-place vote and one point for a fifth-place vote.

Members of the panel include: Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, Olin Buchanan of Rivals.com, Tom Dienhart of Rivals.com, Bruce Feldman of ESPN.com, J.B. Morris of ESPN The Magazine, Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman, Austin Murphy of Sports Illustrated, B.J. Schecter of Sports Illustrated, Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated and Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News.
