FWIW, every single commentator on CFN
has Dixon #1 this week. Herbstreit has him #1 as well and in a national poll on ESPN, over half the country said he's the frontrunner. Saying that he can't win the award because he plays in the Pac-Ten is borderline insane IMO.

I'll believe it if it happens.
When's the last time someone from the pac 10, not USC, has won it?
I'm sure the excuse will be he's splitting votes with Stewart. So, not insane. Plausable actually.

How many Pac 10 players have really been deserving? (Actually asking, I don't remember that well...although "Ryan Leaf" is not correct.)
Also, in defense of the West Coast conspiracy theorists, true, Dixon is the favorite, but this is several weeks late. At the very least Ryan being first after VaTech was a complete joke. Of course, I think "East Coast bias" is way down there on the list of reasons this happened. More important were the "He's on an unbeaten team", "He's a gritty white QB", "He's OMG clutch", and "He left it all on the field literally".
