Extras

One of these four finalists will win the Heisman Trophy at today's 8 p.m. presentation on ESPN. Here's what we see:

Colt Brennan

Senior quarterback

University of Hawaii

Why he'll win: Brennan has passed for 4,174 yards and 38 touchdowns while making Hawaii relevant nationally and leading the Warriors to a BCS bowl.

Why he won't: Voters could see Brennan's numbers as a product of the pass-often offense, not because of skill.

Chase Daniel

Junior quarterback

University of Missouri

Why he'll win: Daniel has taken Missouri to new heights with his school records of 4,170 passing yards and 33 touchdowns.

Why he won't: The Tigers have two losses (both to Oklahoma) and were flattened in their only game as the nation's top-ranked team.

Darren McFadden

Junior running back,

University of Arkansas

Why he'll win: McFadden, last year's runner-up, has already won a number of awards by rushing for 1,725 yards, an Arkansas single-season record.

Why he won't: The Hogs are 8-4, although he did rush for 528 yards in the four losses.

Tim Tebow

Sophomore quarterback,

University of Florida

Why he'll win: The likely favorite, Tebow leads the Gators in both passing (261 yards per game) and rushing (69.8).

Why he won't: Like Arkansas, Florida has been bitten with losses, including three in a four-game span to Auburn, LSU and Georgia.
