What are the requirements to win the Heisman Trophy? It’s supposed to go to the best player in college football, right?
And we all know that best player better have a couple of games on their resume where they come up huge and delivering a key play or score certainly goes a long way as well.
This was my thinking as we submitted our ballots for the weekly College Wires Heisman Poll for Week 1. I understand that plenty of players have huge potential and big games where they’ll be able to make their cases for the prestigious award.
However, we’re supposed vote for the best player based off what they’ve done, not what they might end up doing, right? That was what I tried to fill out my ballot by doing in week 1 and I admit, I’m guilty of one of my guys not so much fitting that criteria.
See below for how my ballot looked this week and then how the College Wires staff ultimately voted.
