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.

This is why I understand when B1G fans complain about SEC bias now.
ESPN and the Big 10 were in cahoots in the mid to late 90's.
Much like the SEC is now.

There was a sense of Peyton fatigue. It wound up that the media tried all season to come up with a reason to NOT give it to Peyton. Really wasn't fair, he did nothing to lose it, but he was such a shoo in from day one that some idiots wanted to be contrarians.
