    To me Ingram lost the Heisman when he was benched in the 4th quarter against Auburn. My Heisman winner doesn't get benched. Suh is the best player in the country, Ingram is the best player on the best team. There's a difference and it was not recognized this year.

    In the twelve years prior to this year's Heisman, 1997 through 2008, the winners played for schools in the following conferences:

    Big Twelve - 4 winners
    Big Ten - 3 winners
    Pac 10 - 3 winners
    ACC - 1 winner
    SEC - 1 winner

    The winners played at the following schools:

    1997 Michigan
    1998 Texas
    1999 Wisconsin
    2000 Florida State
    2001 Nebraska
    2002 USC
    2003 Oklahoma
    2004 USC
    2005 USC
    2006 Ohio State
    2007 Florida
    2008 Oklahoma

    SEC players have won the Heisman only ten times in 75 years. History doesn't support the hypothesis of SEC darlings winning the award.

    Ok? Didn't really need to know all that in order to know that the most hyped SEC player would win this year. Just like McFadden had a shot and Moreno the years prior. Doesn't matter if they're really not worth it... they're in the discussion and would have won without Tebow there to take it.
    Same story this year. 2 more deserving candidates- but noooo since this guy plays in the SEC, he of course goes up against the best defenses every week (who cares what the numbers say about SEC defenses!) so he deserves it.

    The SEC thing isn't nearly as relevant to the discussion of how worthless the Heisman is as is the issue that only QBs and RBs get it.

    Suh should have gotten it this year.

    True. Or at least the best player at whatever position they picked. This whole "best player from best team" thing is getting tired.
