I think in some years the winner is pretty obvious and most agree with it.  I don't think anyone separated himself very clearly this year.

Former winners also get a vote, and it's ostensibly not for the "best player" as the sole criterion.


The Heisman is given to a player "whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity" and who "epitomize great ability combined with diligence, performance, and hard work."


And Peyton being shafted out of the award under the pretense of "It's not a lifetime achievement Award", kinds of begs the question of why the mighty manlet Stetson Bennett was invited with his whopping 16 TD passes in the regular season.

I don’t know about y’all but if the above statement doesn’t describe the QB for USCw then I don’t know what does. Against Utah he had “F^€k Utah” written on his fingernails. Great guy. Mom and Dad should be proud. The coach of USCw should be proud. A great representative of college football in 2022.

He had the same message painted on his fingernails for the Notre Dame game.  It was a national story.

So apparently Lincoln Riley, the USC AD, and the President of USC don't give a rip.  

Classy indeed.

I thought he should win it until I saw that, and his last game.

But, frankly my dear ...

Like most things in life, it is heavily over commercialized, and I'm OK with that.
