Also the Heisman winner will not come from the SEC...count on it. I hate saying that because I live in the heart of SEC country and I would love to see one come out of here. The fact that ESPN now has a bias against the SEC will ensure that unless McFadden rushes for 2500 yards and catches another 1000 and throws for 10+ TD's will mean no Heisman winner for the SEC.
You can bet that ESPN will force another Big Ten, Big Twelve or Pac Ten winner on us once again. Its better for their ratings if they have the winner come out of those three conferences.
Look at the last 10 Heisman winners and you will see the bias. The one that still pisses me off is Charles Woodson. That over rated CB that everyone thought was the best player......Boy I better not get on a rant here.
It's ok, I've lived in Michigan my whole life and am a Tennessee Volunteers fan. I am also GLAD that Woodson won the Heisman, because it has been a curse with the exception of Barry Sanders.
The SEC is the Premier Conference in College Football and has been for the last 10 years. The Big Ten has Michigan and Michigan. The Pac 10 has UCLA and USC. The Big 12 has Okie, and Texas.
The SEC has Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee. Alabama will take a year or two to get Saban back in it.
ESPN College Gameday.........LMFAO do they suck. Take a has been Coach, a has been Quarterback and you have nothing.
