I could live with that. Luck, RGIII and Montee Ball are the most deserving IMO.

Noticed you didn't include Trent Richardson, lol.

You hate SEC so much

It is pretty corny how much blind hate he has for the SEC

Trent doesn't deserve it. Montee's numbers sh*t all over his.

I'd be more ok with Mathieu winning than Trent.

Kellen Moore and his 41 TDs deserved it over that guy. Is USC even eligible for awards with all the **** they pull? C'mon are they really gonna give it to another Trojan just to force him to give it back 5 years later.

It has never happened in the BCS era. The last Heisman winner with that many losses was Tim Brown in 1987 who played for a Notre Dame team that went 8-4.

I'm gonna kidnap aman and make him live in the south with me next season. Not to change him, mind you, it's purely for torture.

Yep. Good catch. Florida won the National Title the year before and the year after Tebow won the Heisman.

When I think of what the "Heisman" means, to me it is the most exciting player in college football. This year it is RGIII
