I think he should have at least gotten an invite to go. I mean why not?

Why was he left off? I thought it was between him, Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford, Tebow and that other guy from TT.

I guess the Oklahoma spanking hurt him. Other than that I think his performance deserved a trip at least.

he wasn't "left off" so to speak. only the top three vote getters are invited to n.y. for the ceremony. odds are, graham finished 4th.

Auby, forgot to mention that Tebow deserves to be there, and he represents the SEC! Now, can it stay?

They can probably invite as many as they want depending on how close it is. There were four invited last year: Tebow, DMac, Brennan and Daniel.

They apparently send the top three to the top five, depending on amount of votes.

It probably wasn't close enough. If it's down to only two guys getting 90% of the vote, only two will go.

Harrell should have at least gone. I think it was the fact that his program isn't a big name like the others.

Unfortunately the Heisman has become more about stats and wins than about who is most important to their team.

The espn gawds didn't dwwm him worthy. If they wanted they could have put enough spin out there to make Jarrett Lee a finalist
