Oklahoma's Sam Bradford is at the top of several lists for the Heisman Trophy, but no matter if he wins that award in New York City on Saturday, he won't capture the Maxwell Award, which is also honored to the best all-around player in college football.

The Sooners star quarterback is not one of the three Maxwell finalists, which were announced on Monday.

Beating out Bradford for finalists honors are quarterbacks Graham Harrell of Texas Tech, Colt McCoy of Texas and Tim Tebow of Florida.

Bradford is a finalist, along with Harrell and McCoy, for the O'Brien Award, which goes to the nation's top quarterback.
