Here are the four invited to New York for Saturday's Heisman Trophy ceremony:
• Florida QB Tim Tebow
• Arkansas RB Darren McFadden
• Missouri QB Chase Daniel
• Hawaii QB Colt Brennan
There's real no surprises here...if there are any moderate surprises, it'd be that Daniel will be in New York. He has solid numbers, but losing to Oklahoma again should have officially eliminated him from the race. Dennis Dixon was more deserving of an invite. And if you're going to include Colt Brennan, why not Michael Crabtree? But I guess he has a few years ahead of him to make his case.
I've already given my pick, but we'll talk more about it as we get closer.

Adam, he deserves it, but I admit, I am surprised that Brennan made it.
Me too, Paul. But I think after he was left out last year, it was tough to do that again. Especially if you hand the invite to Daniel (although I still think Dixon deserved an invite more than those two).
Dixon, in my opinion, is the guy that should have won the the trophy this year. Any doubt should have been removed when you saw what Oregon did after he went down. Reesing should have been in the top five as well as Daniel, Brennan, McFadden & Tebow. Dixon was the college MVP as far as I am concerned.
I would give it to McFadden. A man among boys out on the field. He took his game to another level, destroying LSU's vaunted D and making many of us wonder if LSU is indeed, one of the most overrated teams in the history of college football.
