Hard for me to take the Heisman seriously when it took Alabama almost 100 years to get their first winner and Tennessee still has not won.

While it wasn't impossible for southern players to win, there was a painfully obvious bias in play for Northern and West Coast schools - especially Notre Dame.

I mean...Alabama was not really known for its transformative football players. We had good players but until Saban came there were few years where we had a truly dominate athlete worthy of Heisman consideration:

Shaun Alexander (1999) - 7th
Jay Barker (1994) - 5th
David Palmer (1993) - 3rd
Eric Curry (1992) - 10th
Derrick Thomas (1988) - 10th
Bobby Humphrey (1987) - 10th
Cornelius Bennett (1986) - 7th
Walter Lewis (1983) - 9th
Steadman Shealey (1979) - 10th
Terry Davis (1972) - 5th
Johnny Musso (1971) - 4th
Steve Sloan (1965) - 10th
Lee Roy Jordan (1962) - 4th
Pat Trammell (1961) - 5th
Harry Gilmer (1947) - 5th
Harry Gilmer (1945) - 5th
Joe Kilgrow (1937) - 5th

No program has had more Heisman runner-ups without having a Heisman winner than Tennessee.

1951 - Hank Lauricella
1956 - Johnny Majors
1993 - Health Shuler
1997 - Peyton Manning
