Tim Tebow finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting in New York last December, but after leading Florida to a national championship, he will start as the leader in the USA TODAY's Heisman Watch.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who won the Heisman in 2007, hopes to be holding the award again this December.

By James Lang, US PresswireTebow was named first or second on all 10 ballots and earned 44 points. He was six points ahead of last year's second-place finisher Colt McCoy of Texas. Reigning Heisman winner Sam Bradford of Oklahoma was third in the USA TODAY poll at 33 points.
The threesome appear to be head and shoulders above the rest of the field at this point. California running back Jahvid Best was the only other player to get double digits in points with 18 points. Mississippi quarterback Jevan Snead rounded out the top five.
