If he wins all the major QB awards and doesn't win the Heisman for "best player" with all those rushing yards, its clear that the Heisman isn't actually for the best player in college football, but its for the perceived best player on a team contending for a playoff berth, which is really more about the team than the player when it comes to college football overall.

Or they’re voted on by very different groups of voters.

Like if a vote for best BBQ was held and a group of 100 from North Carolina vote Carolina BBQ and then 100 from Texas vote for Texas BBQ. You can definitely expect bias and different perspectives to play a part.
