I think the Heisman is a stupid joke and I don't even pay attention anymore.
Which is why I find it hilarious when the big coaches complain about the BCS.

I don't like the way they do it as far as playing ranked teams. If their not ranked at the end of the reg. season, it doesn't count in my book. Florida was best in the end. Nuf said. But when OU beats BYU this weekend and if BYU were to lose 8 games, does OU get to keep BYU as beating a ranked team in the end? Not in my book.

But the BCS is better than the old system of 'Number 1 plays number 31 and wins the championship'

Tebow got votes based on popularity and 'feel good'. He deserved to win but it's 2 reasons the Heismans is a joke. Players getting votes for the 'other' factor (not what happens on the feild) and yes, getting the most first place votes and losing. BUT, it does keep a player from winning just because people 'like' him. And that's what happened.

Yup. It is, which is why I like the BCS. The BCS is fine the way it is, just need to have a playoff in the format.

Id have voted for Bradford but seriously, the guy lost because people didnt think he deserved 2nd or 3rd

I think they need to take the top 4 teams and make a playoff that way.


1 vs. 3

2 vs. 4

winners play winners. Adds one more game, doesnt take away from the regular season.

But even that's not fair. What if BYU's QB and starting RB got injured after playing them? The team was good but now they suck...

Right. It's a mess all the way around. I thought Tebow and Bradford could have even split it. Take EITHER off of EITHER team and NEITHER are there in the end. Mcoy?,,,,......I....just ,,,,,,,,,,............can't.......say......it..... ....

Everyone is CFB is biased ill agree to that much. I dont think anyone goes home thinking they are unbiased. But at the end of the day you have to let the big boys play and the last one standing wins it all.

McCoy is talented, I wouldnt mind him bradford or Tebow going to the dolphins
