The Heisman Trophy is intended to be awarded to the most outstanding collegiate football player. In recent years,it seems that voting is based upon school not skill. Some Division Two football players totally outplay 'Promise Man' Tim Tebow, and is bud 'Pretty Boy' Colt McCoy. The problem is that those two are always in the race. If you're wondering why that's a problem, it is because the Heisman is supposed to be voted on skill, not school.
Some of the trophy's voters don't even consider Division Two players. In he history of the Heisman there has never been a Division Two player in the race. I bet there have been some like Brett Favre at SMU who deserved the Heisman vote, but SMU is a Division Two school. He was never in the race for the Heisman, and look now he is a Hall of Fame Quarterback in the NFL.
The winners of the huge trophy are always part of a good team. In the past few years they have all been in the BCS National Championship. A friend told me the other day that the voters have been voting for the best player on the top team in America, not skill!
The winners always have an amazing team. The bad part is when they go to the NFL they don't have all good players compared to other teams. Well, what I'm trying to say is that the level of support they have from their teammates goes down when they enter the NFL.
It makes me sick how the voters of the Heisman or The Heisman Trust as they call themselves, only recognize Florida, Alabama, and Texas. Sometimes the players on these team are the right choices, but most of the time their not. The Heisman Trust may invite other players player who deserve it, but those players never win. An example of this is Ndamukong Suh, on College Football live they said he should win it, but won't. I saw a poll about it and only Florida, Alabama, and Texas voted for their own players, the rest voted right. It's about time the real voters do to!
