Tebow had the most points in every region except the Southwest (McFadden had 323, Tebow 298).
Tebow was on 91% of ballots tabulated, McFadden 86%, Brennan 46%, Daniel 32%.
54 total players received votes. I do not have the other 44 not named.
McFadden received the third most points for a runner up in the history of the Heisman. He's the third to be a runner up two years in a row.
Chase Daniel is the first to the mic. Stay tuned.

No! It should be McFadden or Colt Brennan.
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. But now I'm sad... I was pulling for McFadden all the way!

I was sure Tebow was going to win the whole time...until today. When I was on my way into the city, I started to think about the body of work McFadden has put together. He's such an impressive running back and his numbers are better than last year. I honestly think the 20-20 plateau that Tebow reached clinched it...
McFadden has the better nickname and will be the No. 1 pick this year, but Tebow had the better season.
