Devin White being left out of the top 16, and me not actually knowing who should be taken off is insane. Probably Spears but shite that’s a loaded list

QB REGION

Notes: Obviously we have 4 Heisman winners here, so to seed the top 4 I went off draft selection. Burrow is presumed #1 but since Cam is a known #1 he gets the top seed. Burrow gets #2 because it is practically certain he goes before the 20's where Manziel and Tebow Went.

There were 11 QB's who were top 10 heisman guys. There were no QB's who were consensus AA and not top 10 heisman. So to get QB's 12-16, I used highest NFL draft selections.

(1)Cam Newton
(16)Drew Lock

(8)Eli Manning
(9)Jason Cambell

(13)Jamarcus Russell

RB/WR REGION

Notes: I deviated from the criteria for this region, mainly because heisman voting schews towards RB and it resulted in leaving off some WR's that would not do the bracket justice. If you didn't win the heisman, you had to be a top 32 pick. For this region, heisman winners were seeded first (tiebreaker: NFL draft position) - Henry and Ingram. Next were heisman top 10 finishers and top 32 picks (seeds 3-7). Next tier (7-9) were consensus AA and top 32 picks (Jeudy and Chase have not been top 32 picks yet but I assume both to be at this point). 10-16 were given to the highest drafted players.

(1)Mark Ingram
(16)Odell Beckham

Leave pairings blank if only one of the two are from your own team.

I.E. You would have left both of these blank in the QB section:

You have Gurley at a 14 seed, no Nick Chubb, Stafford as a 12 seed, and Devin White as an 8 seed.

Chubb never finished top 10 Heisman, wasn’t ever consensus AA, and wasn’t a top 32 pick. He would have had to at least garnered one of those distinctions to even have a chance based on my methodology. It isn’t a perfect system, but I think that’s a fair set of parameters to quickly weed through 20+ years of skill position talent in a conference like we have.

Stafford suffers from never finishing in the top 10 Heisman, which obviously favors QB and thus 10 SEC QB’s have done so - meaning those 10 are automatically higher than him based on my method. He’s the highest seeded of the rest of the group.

Devin White benefitted from being a very high draft choice.

There isn’t a way to please everyone with selections and seeding. Sticking to a fair formula/structure was the best way to remove any bias or individual subjectivity from myself in choosing players.

Yeah it definitely is. There’s so many studs from this conference in 20+ years. You could probably make an all-pro NFL team off SEC guys who didn’t make this list
