re: In Mark Ingram's 2009 Heisman year

Of course the Heisman is a political award, it's kind of a joke, always has been and always will be.

The point is, voters will give a pass for a bad performance in a win way more quickly than they will give a pass for a bad performance in a loss.

It's not fair, but that's reality. There is a heavy bias towards giving it to a player on a winning team, not necessarily the most deserving player.
