    ND's defense is absolute garbage and he got what? 100 yards on 30 carries or something

    orrrrrrrrrr it might have something to do with espn being heavily invested w/ the SEC

    Henry: 2000 rushing and 23 TDs, 100 rec yards
    McCafferey: 1850 rushing and 12 TDs, 500 rec yards

    Although he didn't get as many receiving yards, Henry had almost twice as many TDs and played on a playoff team. But I'm sure it's ESECPN or something, right?

    But what about the kick/punt return yardage McCafferey had you didn't include?

    Also, didn't Stanford have a fb who had 13 one yard td runs? If McCafferey gets those and Henry still wins (which he would have) then what about the ESECPN thing?

    Henry still plays for a playoff team. I'd say hand out the award after the playoffs, but the point stands. The Heisman traditionally goes to the best player on the best team.

    It's hard to get really upset over the most overrated trophy in American sports (which Gino Toretta won) but McCaffrey had a ton of all purpose yards.

    If you want to go by YPC, Fournette and Dalvin Cook had way better averages. They weren't even finalists though.

    Voters in the Souf, Midwest, and East (probably 80% of the total) watch Bammer at 2:30 or 3:30 or 7-8 p.m. and miss late Stanfraud games. Plus there are assholes like Tony Kornheiser who openly admit they don't watch West Coast games unless they're on at the right time.

    I cared when I was 12. That was before I figured out that it was a popularity contest and networks sunk billions into tv contracts did their best to influence outcomes.
