I wanted to vote for (likely) the only Supreme Court justice here, but this is limited to their college career.

I think you should be the next nominee.

LeVeon Bell might be deserving.  Although his numbers aren't as good as I'd expect.  But vs James Conner, eh

I haven't been perfect, but as long as I avoid forgetting about a potential winner of a number, I can live with it.  Bell, Ringer, or Conner, doesn't really matter too much.

I assumed DA would not win this, but I voted for him because of what he meant to that team.   Kinnick should win, imo.

Yup, thought of Moreno, but he would probably not get a vote, so no miss, solid player, for two seasons.

I voted White because he had the best name, and because I got to speak with him once, years ago.

I know there is no real debate on who is the best, but to list Nile Kinnick as RB  seems to limit the actual role he played for his team.  

Kinnick also played DB and many other positions.  He still to this day shares the Iowa single season record for interceptions (8) and all time interceptions (18).  When the Big Ten recently named its all time Big Ten team, they put Kinnick at DB.

1939, Iowa finished the year ranked ninth in the AP Poll with a 6-1-1 record. Kinnick threw for 638 yards and 11 touchdowns on only 31 passes and ran for 374 yards. He was involved in 16 of the 19 touchdowns (11 passing, 5 rushing) that Iowa scored and was involved in 107 of the 130 points that Iowa scored that year. He played 402 of a possible 420 minutes that season. All told, Kinnick set 14 school records, some of which still stand today.

When you have a stadium in the B1G named after you, you should probably be winning this kind of contest.

 I only voted for Joe Washington ('Silver Shoes') only to recognize him.  He kind of gets lost in the elite RB discussion (especially 1970s) because he didn't pull down the Heisman.  Two time AA, 6 yard a pop, 2 MNCs including the AP 1/2 they won while on probation.  Sandwiched between Greg Pruitt and later Billy Sims.  Switzer always joked that Archie's two Heismans belong to Joe Washington.

See, I didn't forecast so many people ignoring what these guys did on the field and picking the best one.  lol
