Carson Palmer over Brad Banks in 2002.
Banks won the O'Brien as the better QB, but of course the USC player gets the media vote for the Heisman over the Iowa player.
Palmer's stats were slightly better, but he was on a loaded USC team while Brad Banks led Iowa to a share of the Big Ten title (I fully believe they matched up well against OSU and would've beat them), and at the time a school record 11 wins with significantly less to work with than Palmer.
