In any given year, thereโs about a 75% chance that the Heisman winner will be a QB from a highly ranked team. The other 25% is split between WRs and RBs from highly ranked teams. Itโs more of a glamor contest than anything else. Indeed. Not only does the award usually go to players at glamour positions, but the winners usually play for national powerhouses in major conferences and get a lot of TV exposure as well. If you play for a lesser conference such as Cornell's running back Ed Marinaro, the 1971 runner-up, or are an offensive lineman, such as Ohio State's John Hicks, who lost out to his team mate, a running back, in 1973, you have a tough row to hoe.

I don’t see him as the best player in the nation this year. He is a good College player in a great program. He will not be a top 5 Pro QB at the next level. He just doesn’t stand out to me. Frankly though, I haven’t had my socks knocked off by anyone but a RB, and I can’t remember the team he plays for. The QB for Ohio State though, is better than Bryce.

I've never been a fan of the 4 week delay between a team's last conference game and their bowl game. Too easy for a team to lose their competitive edge.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Michigan can hold it.

The Georgia v Michigan game will be EPIC. Someone send Harbaugh a cryin’ towel, please.

100% Agreed.
The momentum tends to gets lost. That being said. I think Mich. is hitting their stride. As long as Harbaugh stays out of the way of his assistant coaches, and lets them do their jobs. :) Best of Luck to the Wolverines.

Itโs more of a glamor contest than anything else. True. The list of Heisman winners who were busts in the NFL is rather long.
To: CatOwner
But Michigan would have to get past Georgia, which will be no easy task. No it isn't, but I think Georgia's performance against Alabama said a lot about them.
