Just a little horn tootin’ here…
The Heismanpundit.com/Orlando Sentinel Heisman Poll turned out to be the most accurate Heisman poll of the 2008 season. The top six in the final HP/OS poll were the same as the top six in the actual voting, with the only difference being that the HP poll had Tebow second and McCoy third. The HP/OS poll accurately called the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th place finishers.
In the end, it was more accurate than both the Scripps Howard poll and the Stiff Arm Trophy poll, even though the latter uses scientific polling methods to achieve its result. Both those outlets do great work, but we topped ‘em this year.

McCoy won that poll handily over Bradford and Tebow.
