Zapote, Costa Rica -- The Downtown Athletic Club of New York City, Inc. presents the Heisman Memorial Trophy Award each year to the outstanding college football player in the United States.
This year's winner will be announced on December 13th at 8:00 PM Eastern.
"The Heisman Trophy is the most anticipated award during the college football season," says Dave Johnson, CEO of BetCBSports.com. "Fans across the country follow the race for the Heisman in the same way they follow the BCS Standings."
Votes for the winner are determined as follows:
The nation is split into six electoral sections, i.e., Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest, Southwest, and Far West. Each section consists of 175 media voters culled from the print, radio and television ranks. Every past Heisman winner casts a vote as well. Each elector casts a ballot showing his top three choices. The elector's top choice receives three points, the second receives two and the third receives one. The player who receives the highest number of points across all three choices is the winner.
