re: Heisman Vote Disclosure Proposal

---

If the winner is not listed on your ballot (i.e. in your top 3), you lose your vote the next year.

(Possible) Grace given to past winners: if the winner is not on your ballot, your vote becomes public the next year(s) - until you get it right…

Different people have different opinions and there is nothing wrong about that. Different people value different things and there is nothing wrong about that. Personally, I think that defensive players get the short end of the stick in Heisman balloting because it is not as easy to quantify their impact on a season as teams tend to game plan to neutralize great defensive players, but many still standout.

For me, I was glad to see the walk-on running back from Mizzou get a single 1st place vote. Against all odds this kid moves up in classification, beats out the recruited athletes at the school and leads the SEC in rushing.

That said, the right man won the award.

Please note: there has never been a Heisman winner who got votes on every ballot and there is nothing wrong with that.
