Top 5 Heisman Candidates
It seems like we have a different frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy every week. Every time a ranked team loses or a player in my top-5 has a poor showing, they automatically fall down or off my list. If a team falls out of contention, the players chances of winning the Heisman decreases over time. A guy like Montae Ball (pictured) from Wisconsin is having a Heisman-worthy season, but due to his situation in Madison, Ball is not on this list. The Badgers back has rushed for over 1,200 yards and 27 total touchdowns in 2011. He would win the award running away if Wisconsin was unbeaten. Two-loss teams do not possess the Heisman winner under most circumstances. Some other guys having outstanding seasons are not even mentioned on the list due to their teams record. That is college football for you. Love it or hate it, our system of evaluation is not changing anytime soon.
