Assuming Ingram wins, it will have been 20 years since a Heisman winner has come from a team with less than 10 wins including their bowl game (Andre Ware, Houston, 1989, 9-2). There was also Tim Brown for Notre Dame in '87 (8-4), Bo Jackson for Auburn in '85 (8-4), Marcus Allen for USC in '81 (9-3) and George Rogers for South Carolina in '80 (8-4).It's been that since like the mid to early 90s though (at least). Not a new thing
The fifty states of the U.S. are split into six regions, and six regional representatives are selected to appoint voters in their states (the regions include the Far West, the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, South, and Southwest). Each region has 145 media votes, for a total of 870 votes. In addition, all previous Heisman winners may vote, and one final vote is counted through public balloting. However, voters still attending college can not vote until said player's collegiate career is over. The Heisman ballots contain a 3-2-1 point system, in which each ballot ranks the voter's top three players and awards them three points for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote, and one point for a third-place vote. The points are tabulated, and the player with the highest total of points across all ballots wins the Heisman Trophy.

far west= Gerhart/McCoy country
mid-atlantic=Mix of Ingram, Spiller, McCoy and Tebow votes
McCoy will carry the midwest and southwest.
Id say that the south and northeast will split up their votes between Spiller, Ingram, and Tebow .
Colt McCoy will win the heisman.
