In Gainesville, Austin and both states of Florida and Texas, they are complaining about neither one of their star quarterbacks, Florida’s Tim Tebow and Texas’ Colt McCoy, won the coveted Heisman Trophy.

The winner, Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford, helped lead his team to victory against Missouri earlier in the season and again in the Big 12 championship game, a game which Texas argues should have been their game.

Oklahoma’s deja vu experience against Missouri won themselves the Big 12 title and a game against #1 Florida, who dethroned Alabama over a week ago.

However, in the Heisman nominee list, Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell was left out. Texas Tech was one of the teams remaining in the Big 12 South division which was in a three-way tie with Oklahoma and Texas. Texas Tech would then lose last weekend and it being a two-way tie. The pollsters within the Bowl Championship Series felt that Oklahoma performed better and bumped them ahead of Texas, who would originally face Alabama, before they were strangled by Florida last weekend. Texas would not be be facing Missouri for the Big 12 championship.

Longhorn supporters would protest this decision, but the Big 12 and BCS officials upheld the decision. The Sooners beat the Tigers and won their spot for the National Championship.

The pollsters in favor of Bradford have been accused as being biased and that is what Florida and Texas feel.

Florida’s Tebow, last year’s Heisman winner, was hoping for a repeat in 2008, but Bradford’s win eliminated that chance.

Longhorn and Gator fans got a slap in the face last night when Texas’ Colt McCoy and Florida’s Tim Tebow lost the trophy to Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford.

Amidst all of the controversy within the Sooner system, beginning since the game when McCoy’s Longhorns beat Bradford’s Sooners 45-35. That was part of what would become a three-way tie in the Big 12 South Division. On the last week, Oklahoma won, Florida dethroned Alabama, Texas won another, but Texas Tech lost, which would eventually give the Heisman votes to one of the three nominees: McCoy, Tebow or Bradford.

When Oklahoma’s unimpressive performance put them ahead of Texas, the chaos begins. Oklahoma gets to play Missouri, deja vu to last season for the Big 12 Championship. Texas protested that the pollsters were biased and should have that spot. The northern-based Big 12 and northern-based BCS ignored Texas’ request. Oklahoma wins the Big 12 Championship, gets news of Alabama being dethroned and play Florida for the National Championship.

Bradford’s win of the Heisman prevented a repeat of a possibility of Tim Tebow to repeat as Heisman winner back-to-back. But it only increases the controversy within the BCS and the Big 12 Conference.

So here’s the SportsNation Question of the Day: Do you think naming Sam Bradford the winner of the Heisman Trophy is biased?
