Here is the SEC 2012 Championship hype video, check it out:

Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the SEC football championship game:

Here is another installment of our “Gamecocks Fan Mail” series and this week we have two solid questions to address so here goes:

1. Amber from Elgin asks us - “In your opinion, who wins the Heisman?” Well, the ESPN hype machine is pushing Johnny Football so look for him to claim many votes. The other is Colin Klein to watch out of K State. If Klein can beat the Longhorns today in good fashion then he will win out. If he sucks then ESPN will hype up Johnny Football enough to sway some votes. 

2. Frank from Camden asks us - “Who wins the SEC Championship?” To us that is simple, it will be Alabama as Saban has something to prove. Scary, right?

Below is our Bloguin Heisman ballot for this week; do you agree with our top three and the order?

1. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State. He is the definition of an MVP for his team and has Kstate doing quite well. No he does not have ESPN behind him like others but looking at his stat line he deserves the nod.

2. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M. His 439 total yards and five touchdowns (two rushing) in Saturday’s win against the Mizzou Tigers makes his chances even stronger. But he is a freshman....

3. Manti Te’o, LB, Notre Dame. Simply put....this senior linebacker has 103 tackles and is second in the country in INTs—and has three more of them than any other non-DB in the country. Does defense win championships and Heisman's?
