It boggles my mind that Bo Jackson was only considered one time. Can that be right?
82-84 weren’t exactly Heisman numbers
2 of those years he finished with 829 yards 9tds (FR) and 475 and 5 (jr)

Take a top 3 vote getter from the SEC and put them on Ohio State or Michigan and they're more than 50/50 to win the Heisman.
You see the bias in voting for everything in CFB. Not salty about it, but that's the way it is.

George Rogers had a tremendous year in 1980, but the Heisman should go to the player that carried his team, the most valuable player that made the biggest impact. There is no way Georgia wins the NC without him.

The fact that Darren McFadden didnt win a heisman proved that the heisman is just a popularity contest. He was the best player in the country the 2 years he got snubbed.

I didn’t realize that. Do you know what his number finished at? I believe Jonathan Taylor had over 1200 last year.
Don't remember since it's been so long and it's not an official stat.
He was basically our offense in 2009 along with screen passes to Julio from McElroy.

Heisman voters refused to let an underclassman win until 07. Herschel probably should've won it every year.

Tennessee - 4

No team in college football has had more 2nd place finishes without ever having a Heisman winner.
