It would be awesome if Suh could finish runnerup.

Its pretty clear that McCoy has zero chance unless something major happens.

The guy that runs stiffarmtrophy was on a sports radio show in Alabama. He was saying it's so close he doesn't know what is going to happen. They kept trying to get him to set the prediction to Ingram and he said he wouldn't do it, saying there is usually a percentage of variation of 3-5%.

Suh has now jumped into 2nd - dominating the #1 votes.

Ingram is in 1st - dominating the #2 votes.

Gerhart is 3rd - consistent on 1-2-3 votes.

Here is the latest update wth 295 ballots

#1 Mark Ingram 44.3% 1232 68 1st place votes
#2 Suh 41.0% 1139 91 1st place votes
#3 Toby Gerhart 40.6% 1129 60 1st place votes
#4 Colt McCoy 30.8 % 855 44 1st place votes
#5 Tim Tebow 9.6% 267 11 1st place votes

Hoping Suh wins. It might be the only exclusively defensive player, and defensive lineman to boot, to win in our lifetime.

This will be the closest a defensive lineman ever gets to winning it, if he does not win which I think would be amazing.

At first I was hoping that Gerhart would win, but now I dont know.

Latest projection from 1:51 pacific this morning

#1 Mark Ingram 48.1 1336 74 1st place votes
#2 Toby Gerhart 44.7 1241 65 1st place votes
#3 Suh 42.8 1188 92 1st place votes
#4 Colt McCoy 33.8 939 47 1st place votes
#5 Tim Tebow 10.6 295 12 1st place votes

Suh is going to lose this because of the lack of 2nd place votes he has. He only has 38 2nd place votes compared to 66 for Gerhart and 84 for Ingram.

They just said on ESPN that Ndamukong (in his father's native Cameroon) means "House of Spears".
