Bo Jackson and Hershel Walker are legends. Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges and I honestly think that if Barry Sanders had played more in college he would be the number 1 player without a doubt. That being said, Anyone that says Bo over Hershel is right. Anyone that says Hershel over Bo is also right. That basically means you can't go wrong either way.

Manti Teo over Patrick Willis? Let me rephrase that, Manti Teo over sooooooooo many SEC LB's in the past decade?

I don't disagree. Was DT now in the bracket? I was just speaking on terms of Teo. He was a shitty LB, who would have transferred out by his sophomore season had he signed with an SEC school.

How did Pat Sullivan advance past AJ McCarron and Dick Butkus over Vince Young


Pat Sullivan is easily in Top 5-Top 10 worst Heisman winners ever.


Dick Butkus is one of the most dominant football players ever.

Also not sure how a two time Heisman lost to a system QB in Tebow


I know you're being facetious, but it's an absolute joke that of all the great players in history, archie is the only one with 2 heismans. His stats from his heisman years:

1- 1,695 yards, 12 TDs (respectable)
2- 1,450 yards, 4 TDs. What a frickin joke.

So.....

Charles Woodson is better than Adrian Peterson and O.J. Simpson....

Doug Flutie better than Ernie "The Express" Davis...

Sounds legit...

Herschel and Bo in the final two. Hard to argue with that. Bo won (and he deserves it), but Walker has a strong case too.

As always?

They only played each other once and Bo definitely didn't win.

agree with the end result but some of the people on that bracket are very puzzling

Love how they put Spurrier vs Clowney in round one.. knowing Spurrier, he probably let Clowney know that he beat him in this bracket.

Not sure AJ or Eli should be on there. Too many other players were left out; as has been mentioned Lee Roy Jordan and Patrick Willis

Correct. I can't disagree with Bo overall, but Barry Sanders' 1988 season is the GOAT single season for a college RB ever, and those numbers will never be touched.

Agree, but that has nothing to do with this bracket. It's also why barry isn't (and shouldn't be) listed as one of the all time greats.

Billy Cannon... not really close, everyone else is a system/platoon player compared to Cannon...he could have starred at any position offense and defense, punt, place kick and return punts and kicks.

Ask some of the long time SEC officials who did SEC and Bowl games for decades.
