Heisman Trophy

The Heisman trophy is an interesting phenomenon. It’s no different than a Ma and Pa Kettle trophy for best player, other than it somehow got legs since 1935 as the premier coleege football award. The Downtown Athletic Club of NYC that created it, even went out of business in 2002. The trophy lived on by creation of the Heisman Trust, for the sole purpose of dishing out the trophy.

My biggest issue with the trophy is the voters essentially have no mind of their own. At the end of the year some player has a big performance in a big game and the media then puts out that this person is the front runner for the trophy and should win it. So all those voters then just go and vote for that person. It’ll happen again this year with Caleb Williams. Not really any press about him until USC beat ND last week. Now he’s the best player in the country. Press making a big deal about only 3 pics. Hooker had 2. That said, Williams is good so he’s as deserving as anyone else.

So I have a legit question for the ones saying Caleb is absolutely going to win, because Hendon has two losses now. What happens if Utah beats USC? That puts Caleb Williams in the exact same boat as Hendon Hooker. Does your opinion that two losses disqualifies someone still stand?

Don't know how they cannot invite the guy MOST responsible for UT being #1 in scoring and #1 in total offense this year. He also has a higher completion percentage than the USC dude.. He is 6th OSU guy is 23rd and USC dude is 28th.

HH only missed one game.
HIm being pushed out of contention, when his stats are still great, reveals the real stature of this award in 2022.

Many votes will have already been cast before that game.

I don't even watch a game unless it impacts Tennessee. I don't want to give other teams ratings

I'm still of the opinion that if Hooker being out is enough for the CFP to disregard our head-to-head against Alabama, it's also proof he belongs at the top of the Heisman race.

You should not be ok with a committee just arbitrarily deciding how good or bad we are without a particular player. The only on the field evidence says we are perfectly capable of domination with our backup quarterback.
