in WildWest Football Board

None of these cats lost 3 regular season games.

Will Espn/Sec rewrite the rules again tomorrow?

Wow. This is impressive!! Is this AI requested?? Being serious.

Now adjust your query to regular season only. Most recent winner (2016) Was Lamar Jackson and they lost a bowl game. Voting time they were a 2 loss team. Not sure if he played? He was considered a reach so maybe he played to help his status?

Now the BIG question. You really think your list helps your argument???? 🤦‍♂️

You're going back to 1956 to reference the 2-8 winner....Thats 67 years ago.

Thats basically 20 years before I was born. 🤦‍♂️

Just goes to show how long there has never been a rule to disqualify someone with 3 or more losses...and that was the point...you don't need to change a rule that never existed..

🤦‍♂️ if i was saying it was a written/codified rule I would have posted it.

I was implying unwritten rule/precedent. Next time, with you, Ill be so clear you wont even see me.

Unfortunately you need to look at the bigger picture rather than a selective picture limiting the history of the Heisman....historically the Heisman has gone to players whose team lost more than 3 games.

You just don't get it do you....when someone posts something that claims they are going to change the rules to get a player on a three loss team the Heisman and I point out thats not a change..you jump in with your bullshet...the fact is doesn't matter which Big5 Power conference the statement was untrue. I posted a week agon my Heisman favorite was Harrison from Ohio St and when the question was asked who should get the Heisman Penix or Daniels I posted Penix because he led an undefeated team to the Championship round so take the crap you keep handing out and put it where the sun don't shine...

Does it matter?..the point was no one has to change a rule that doesn't exist as the record shows in order to give a QB with three losses the award....if t mattered or there was such a rule USC would have one less Heisman.
