Stolen Heisman!?...

[sniperscout75]

I agree that the heisman voting seems off however even in real life the voters usually tend to vote for upper classmen vs. fresh/soph. Statistically speaking there is more heisman winners that are juniors/seniors as opposed to the fresh/soph.

Again I agree that the system is off but the favoritism towards upper classmen I think is appropriate. Just my .02

I had a senior get robbed had 10 more TD, less carries, and 600 more rush yards then the guy who won. and i won the conference game and first the whole year

I used to run into this problem as well until I figured out that for a HB to win it, he must have some substantial receiving yards added to his overall stats total.

I had a HB at WMU win it twice without getting more than 150 Recieving Yards a year

Just had my redshirt freshman RB(my 1st 5 star recruit)win the heisman.Had 2062 rushing yds and about 250rec yds plus 24tds.

I've won with a true freshman, dual threat QB

I had something similar happen to me, my running back was number one for the last 5 weeks on the season, then in the last game of the season he got injured in the second quarter. I advanced to the next week and he was completely off the list. I can understand him loosing because someone was close to him and he ended up second to fourth even maybe fifth but off the list is bizarre. I just wrote it off as a smaller conference bias against him, because everyone else was from the power conferences.

Part of it is that it is attempting to simulate people's opinions, the Heisman winner isn't always the statistical dominant player. Colt Brennan never won a heisman, Case Keenum won't win one.
