We can agree on this.  

Hooker wasn’t going to win the Heisman, but damned if he didn’t deserve to be invited.  

So Stetson Bennett nabs his spot.  Wonderful.  

think about it, yall... who votes for the heisman winner?

..... 

that trophy has long ran it's usefulness as indication of true greatest impact to the game by a single player.  

its now mob owned.  

which five teams have the most living heisman trophy winners?  ever wonder why that gap between them and the rest of the teams keeps getting wider? 

who doesn't have a single heisman winner?  a player from UT would have to be absolutely jaw dropping sensational to actually walk that stage- the kind of sensational that the trophy would instantly lose all credibility for if they didn't.  

i lost ALL regard for that thing after manning lost to a defensive player after espn squalked all season about defensive players being snubbed... shit, yall, that may be the beginning of espn realizing the clout and influence they had... they packaged that thing for woodsen... i thought "okay- that was a screwby" but it was the next or the following season one of the most amazing players i've ever seen play lost it to an overweight defensive tackle playing RB named dayne who carried the rock damn near every snap as everyone marvelled at his yardage (which broke ricky williams iirc, and while williams carried the rock somehting like half the carries dayne did)- the player who was snubbed? Antwon Randell El... that kid was jaw dropping good as a QB, a DB, a kick/put returner, a TB, a WR, a punter and every damn thing on the field shy of lineman.  

he played for Indiana who despite having one of the best players in college in the modern era- couldn't sniff hardly any wins that season. that damn sure wasn't Randell El's fault, though.   

Stetson Bennett IV is a good QB on the most talented team in the nation. Over the past 5 years the Georgia recruiting rankings have averaged #2 in the nation. Tennessee, I believe either 16 or 17 but Georgia didn’t lose 30 plus players to the transfer portal 2 years ago.

Stetson Bennett is a blessed young man to be playing for Georgia because if he played anywhere else most of us wouldn’t know his name. He’s not a great player and he’s nowhere close to the best player in the nation. The Heistman Trophy has become a popularity contest trophy.

Hendon Hooker wins SEC player of the year yet Stetson Bennett is a Heistman Trophy finalist. Again, the Heistman is a popularity contest. It lost all of its glitter years ago.

While it is weird TCU could lose and stay at 3, I'm not sure what else makes more sense.

I'm not sure being a finalist is more than an asterisk.  If you win, you might get on some fairly clever commercials some day.

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 media has the vast majority of the votes 870 of slightly over 900.

If you don't think Hookers stats and how he played earned him at least an invitation it's obvious you don't know squat about the subject being discussed.
