Woodson performed bigger in the biggest stages which won him the award. Had Manning managed to beat Florida that year, he probably wins the award. Nevertheless, there was a ridiculous amount of talent as finalist that year. Randy Moss, Peyton Manning & Charles Woodson, all future NFL Hall of Famers & arguably the best players to ever play their respected positions.

Yes Woodson won the Heisman only because ABC and ESPN pushed very hard for him over the other candidates.
The play that wins it for him is the td return.
Champ would have a better year the next season and was not even in the top 4 the next season,
Voter nullification cost Peyton the award, with many voters no placing him in the top 3, Payton was left off near 60 ballots in the far west and near 65 from the mid west.
Champ's stats were much better than Woodson's and he finished 7th in the voting the next season.
Because the number of winners in the far west and big 10, that block is now normally one of main factors in outcome for the Heisman race.
