not surprising. he wasn't necessarily undeserving, but there were better candidates, IMO.

870 voters and only 28 points separated Gerhart and Ingram. I can't wait to see the break down by region. For those that don't know, Voting is broken down to 6 regions and 145 voters per region. Not sure how the breakdown per points are done tho.

Heisman = Popularity
Gephart lead the nation in MOST rushing categories & didn't win .
WTF
He should have won it.
Maybe just maybe they also took into account team record, conference strength, team accomplishments. Maybe...
You're exactly right. It is a popularity contest.
So... the fact that Ingram plays tougher opponents week in and week out holds no clout in your mind? Ok.
