Re: Heisman Rankings
[ QUOTE ]
Also, if you do include USC (and why wouldn't you), the Pac-Ten has 3 of the last 5 Heisman trophies. The SEC which is supposedly the conference everyone favors only has 1 Heisman winner in the last 20 years (Danny Wuerffel). The idea that people still talk about West-Coast bias as if it's relevant to the modern-day is ridiculous.

The bias isn't what it used to be, but I think it's still there. Just for the fact that the west coast doesn't get as much exposure. There is bias in voting still. See Notre Dame. Brady Quinn was 3rd for heisman? Yeah right. It can be a popularity contest. Also, God knows why Jason White got one.
The Pac is also known as USC and the 9 other teams which is why I could care less about USC's heismans.
Again, I'd like to see Dixon or Stewart get it, but we'll see. I think they both should be strong runners. Which, again, could hurt both of them.
