Yeah, there's a reason I didn't even attempt to play this game... I didn't follow any CFB before about 1996, so I had a feeling there were a whole lot of past winners I'd barely even heard of, if I'd heard of them at all.
I'm pretty sure I've heard of Jim Plunkett. Wouldn't for the life of me had been able to tell you he'd won a Heisman, or what school he played for, or what decade he played in, or what he went on to do in the NFL, if anything... If I have heard of him, it probably means he played in the NFL at some point though.
