Where's Braylon?

ESPN.com is tracking the Heisman vote and it appears some voters aren't watching enough football. In their latest poll, Michigan's Braylon Edwards isn't even amongst the top nine candidates. The Michigan wide receiver couldn't even garner a single fifth place nod. That's ridiculous.

Edwards is the best wideout in the land, yet can't get one fifth place vote? I'm sorry, but Edwards is more Heisman worthy than Stefan LeFors, Aaron Rodgers, Jason Campbell and probably Matt Leinart. A week ago, Edwards finally cracked ESPN.com's weekly Heisman survey. Then, Michigan doesn't play this week and he falls completely out of contention? Again, that's ridiculous.

As I said in my latest top 13 poll, I would have Edwards second (or no worse than third) on my Heisman ballot. Of course, there is still plenty of football left, so Edwards can still make himself a factor in the Heisman race. Apparently, Edwards is going to have to play extremely well, as he is off just about everyone else's radar screen. Which, as you know, is ridiculous.
