It was the biggest robbery in the history of the award
Number two on the biggest robbery would have to be the 1997 award. Just like Notre Dame getting their participation trophy in 1956, it was decided a defensive player needed to win the award, so Peyton Manning and Tennessee came in second once again.

Meh. I let this go a long time ago. Did Manning deserve it? Sure. But so did Woodson. Not mad about this.
Now, had Manning beaten Florida, he would have won going away.

Tennessee isn't allowed to win the award. It's like a law.

He wasn't deserving. Woodson was. The end.
