Heisman Trophy

I'll also add there's a lot of push from the past heisman winners (who all get a vote) to keep the trophy being a singular occurance - no one's won it twice

Archie Griffin won it twice. I think somebody else did back in 40's too but I could be wrong on that.

I think the only way Bush loses this is if he gets and injured and UCLA defeats USC. Bad.

Hell, that actually might make Bush more valuable

You're right - "Only 1 player, Archie Griffin, a running back for Ohio State, has won 2 Heisman Trophies; he did so in 1974 and 1975."

I still think thats a factor - previous winners won't want to create a two-time heisman winner, whether or not its never happened or has only happened once.

I also think Bush is pretty clearly the best player in college football right now. If I had a vote, I'd vote for Quinn over Leinart if I were voting for a QB - he's got better stats and is in my opinion more valuable to his team (which is vastly exceeding expectations this year in strong part due to his play, compared to USC which everyone knew would be a frontrunner).

There was a really interesting read lately on ESPN Insider discussing the flawed Heisman voting. I dug around and couldn't find the link though. To sum it up, writer was a Heisman voter and indicated in past he has seen the guy he voted for maybe once on TV, and for sure he knows of many guys who have votes who barely watch college football. Bush already was hyped up, and it's very possible that once highlights of Fresno game aired ppl just mailed in their vote on the spot. Seems for him to lose it would go down as one of the most controversial Heisman votes,ever.
