Nebraska defensive terror Suh invited to New York City.

If any conclusion could be drawn from the Heisman Trophy finalists named Monday, it is that the voting is diverse and spread out. There is no obvious favorite for the award that will be presented Saturday night.
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was invited to New York, along with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Alabama running back Mark Ingram, Stanford running back Toby Gerhart and Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh , the rarest of finalists because he's a defensive lineman.
The last time as many as five players were invited to New York was 2004, when USC quarterback Matt Leinart won the award.
Going into conference championship weekend, McCoy, the Heisman runner-up last year, was favored, and Tebow was a close second. But McCoy had a rough night against Nebraska, throwing three interceptions and no touchdown passes, and Tebow's team was drilled by Alabama.
Ingram had a huge game against the Gators, and he probably is the new Heisman leader. Heismanpundit.com, which polls 13 voters throughout the season, had Ingram on top of its latest results, just ahead of Gerhart. Suh was the other player to make a major move over the weekend, with his one-man wrecking ball effort that stifled the high-scoring Texas offense.
Clemson all-purpose back C.J. Spiller, Cincinnati wide receiver-kick returner Mardy Gilyard, Boise State QB Kellen Moore and Houston QB Case Keenum were among the top players who did not get enough votes to make it.
Heisman officials scan the ballots on deadline day, which was Monday, to determine which players to invite to New York for the elaborate ceremony.
McCoy was second last season to Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and led the second-ranked Longhorns to the BCS national championship game this season. He is the first Horn to make the trip to New York twice as a finalist.
Tebow, the 2007 winner, became the first player to be invited to the Heisman ceremony three times. Tebow, the first sophomore to win the award, is trying to become the second two-time Heisman winner, joining Ohio State's Archie Griffin. Tebow finished third in the voting last year, while getting the most first-place votes.
He's also the first player to finish in the top five of the Heisman voting three times since Georgia tailback Herschel Walker did it in the early 1980s.
Ingram has rushed for 1,542 yards and scored 15 touchdowns for No. 1 Alabama, which will play Texas in the BCS title game. Despite its tradition, the Crimson Tide has never had a Heisman winner.
Gerhart has run for more yards (1,736) and scored more touchdowns (26) than any player in the nation.
Suh, who had 4½ sacks against Texas and 12 on the season, is the first defensive player to be a finalist since 1997, when Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson became the only full-time defensive player to win the Heisman.
