Discrepency in Reported Heisman Trophy Voting
Posted on 12/11/11 at 7:52 am
Posted on 12/11/11 at 7:52 am
There appears to be a contradiction between the Heisman trophy votes reported by ESPN on the show and on their web site and that shown on the CBS website.
Note the difference in # 3, 4 & 5. The numbers are the same but the names are not.
Who is the OFFICIAL keeper of the totals?
Did Tm finish 4th or 5th?
From the ESPN Web Site
Player 1st-place votes Total points
Robert Griffin III 405 1,687
Andrew Luck 247 1,407
Trent Richardson 138 978
Montee Ball 22 348
Tyrann Mathieu 34 327
From CBS
Player, School 1st 2nd 3rd Tot
Robert Griffin, Baylor 405 168 136 1,687
Andrew Luck, Stanford 247 250 166 1,407
Montee Ball, Wisconsin 138 207 150 978
Tyrann Mathieu, LSU 22 83 116 348
Trent Richardson, Alabama 34 63 99 327

Someone not very good at cut n paste at the networks!

A conspiracy theorist might suggest that ESPN just couldn't stand to report that their frontrunner and campaign favorite finished 5th.

Good catch. I wonder who is wrong? I tend to believe it is probably ESPN. Their graphics always seem to be messed up

So, who is correct? ESPN, SI or CBS?

There is no way that Richardson finished #5, so it appears that CBS is incorrect:

I posted this in another thread a little while ago. Weird the discrepancy between the sources.

Someone made a typo, looks like.
The official Heisman Trophy press release has it Griffin, Luck, Richardson, Ball, Mathieu.
Google is your friend.
