HooplaNation Poll Tournament - Biggest Heisman Trophy snub since 2000 season - Entry Thread

VY losing the Heisman by the then largest margin in award history was a joke
 
To get more entries, I am going to extend the time frame to another 2 decades.

So, Biggest Heisman Snub since 1980.

Also, I suck at picking up sarcastic picks, so either make it very obvious that it is a joke or I will take it serious.
 
Larry Fitzgerald 2003
Vince Young 2905
Toby Gerhart 2008
Ndamukong Suh 2009
Tavon Austin 2012
Melvin Gordon 2014
Christian McCaffrey 2015

I think Ingram was the right call in 09.


It’s not like Suh was a Woodson level defensive player. And it’s not like teams that go 6-3 in conference help guys win Heisman trophies.


Looking thru the list of winners, the biggest overlook is Reggie Bush in 05. Still feels like he did win, not just should’ve.

This is the problem though. If it's only going to players on elite teams, then why are we even giving other players votes? If it's supposed to go to the best player in college football, Ingram had no reason to win it. He wasn't even the most dominant RB that year, let alone best overall player.
 
I'll nominate LaDanian Tomlinson 2000. One man wrecking crew, lost to 36 year old Weinke

Still Suh.
 
And to help out, I'll also nominate Adrian Peterson in 2004

Michigan deserved the 1997 national Championship.

I’ve never voted for anyone.

But whoever it is that votes, definitely factors in how good a players team is. Maybe that is an assumption of impact, idk.

But when you give up 40 to Kansas in a loss, your DT doesn’t get a Heisman. That’s a rule. And it’s a good rule.

Interesting, but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything considering they beat Kansas 31-17 that year. In fact, Nebraska lost 3 of their 4 games that year with the defense giving up 16 or fewer points, so if that's the metric you wanna use, Suh definitely should've won it.
