Hopefully the combined power of Division III fans can lift Elliott into the top three. The top three vote-getters in the online voting receive the equivalent of a first-place, second-place and third-place vote in the official ballot tally. Now, we’re coming to this late in the game, so we need to get cracking. Thanks to correspondent Ron Boerger, who got the process started a little over a week ago.

Each vote must be confirmed — they send you a link via e-mail to click on to confirm your vote before it will be counted.

And if you doubt Division III in the Heisman race, don’t forget Plymouth State running back Joe Dudek finished ninth in the balloting in 1985. Some guy named Bo Jackson won the thing that year.

Please note, voteforheisman.com appears to be frequently culling what it considers fraudulent votes. I reminded them that many colleges run behind proxy servers, which means all users on campus look like they are coming from the same IP address. They promised me they are not excluding votes based solely on IP addresses.

No need to stuff the ballot box. Let’s do it fair and square.
