Bama's Ingram makes run at Heisman honors

For a third consecutive week, players from Southeastern Conference schools have exchanged the lead in the Scripps Howard News Service’s weekly Heisman Trophy poll, released Wednesday.
Alabama running back Mark Ingram has regained the lead, ousting Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, last week’s front-runner. Tebow fell from first to third in the latest balloting, behind Houston quarterback Case Keenum, who trails Ingram by a single point in what projects as a wide-open race down the stretch.
The poll, which began in 1987, solicits input from 10 Heisman voters — including representatives from each of the five Heisman balloting regions — and assigns voting points for each candidate listed by voters. Points are assigned on a sliding scale, similar to the point totals in the weekly Associated Press college football poll. The poll has correctly forecast the Heisman winner in 18 of the first 21 seasons of its existence.
