For the first time in the last few years, there is no heavy favorite in the Heisman Trophy race. So, we turn to our SportsNation chat experts to see whom they think should win. Our chatters, like everyone else, also could not come to an agreement on the favorite. First, a look at how SportsNation has voted during the season and then on to a few of our experts.

As a 'Bama fan, I want Ingram to win the Heisman, but I've watched Suh in a few games and I can't deny that he is the most dominant player I have seen all year. I'm sure he won't end up winning, but Suh is outstanding and he deserves it. Who do you think will win it in the end?
Chris Low
I voted Ingram No. 1, Suh No. 2 and Toby Gerhart No. 3. I just didn't think McCoy played his best football against the best defenses he faced this year. Even so, I'd say he's still probably the favorite to win it. Full transcript

Suh is the best DT in how long? Ingram and Gerhart are good to great RBs. There are those kinds of guys EVERY year. How are they better than Suh? The Heisman should be renamed "the award for a QB or RB, with the occasional WR" award. Really, it has nothing to do with the best college football player at all.

First of all, for the Heisman, it doesn't go to the best player. It's not the best college football player, it's the best WR, RB, QB. And I don't want to hear about Charles Woodson. I pushed for Woodson when he won it over Peyton Manning because he was such a versatile player. He was a kick returner, played some offense as well as defense. If he had just played CB, he wouldn't have won. Suh plays just defense and some people say he has no chance. He also played for a team that wasn't a top ranked team. I would have voted for Gerhart, but again, he's not on a top ranked team. But I would vote Gerhart No. 1. But that's what the Heisman is. It's not for the best college football player.

Hey Beano, do you think Gerhart deserves the Heisman over Ingram? also do you think that they should invite somebody else over Tebow? Maybe Spiller or Kellen Moore?
Beano Cook
No. I think Tebow should have been invited. I don't know who else you would invite. I think Ingram will win, but I voted for McCoy, Ingram and Tebow. Full transcript
