When the SEC offensive player of the year isn’t invited to the Heismen

It’s because he played at TN.

Yep. If anyone had questions about if there were ever a negative bias against TN, this should put those questions to rest.

Hooker was screwed, but your title statement isn't factually accurate. Kerryon Johnson was the Offensive player of the year for the SEC in 2017 and wasn't invited. The year before that was the last QB, Jalen Hurts, who was the Offensive player of the year not invited to the Heisman.

Now what is truly baffling though is that Hooker, as the SEC Offensuve Player of the year was not only was bypassed for the Heisman, but another QB in the SEC was invited, Stetson Bennett. That, I'm not sure has ever happened.

Me, KNOWING the Heistman Bias; Knew for sure Hooker wouldn't win it, but knew for sure they would HAVE to invite him. Those astardbas didn't even .

What We as Tennessee fans should do is NEVER watch that crap again. (which I haven't since the Peyton debacle)

Great post, brings info.

Very strange. Its a popularity contest then, and, data means nothing. Its about what you did in Nov, not, other months.

Not among the final three for the 2022 Davey O’Brien award, either.
