Well he was "robbed" of the Heisman according to UT fans, does that count?

One could make an argument that Hamilton was robbed as well. He finished 2nd (ahead of Vick) to Ron Dayne (who won it as more of a career award). I have a hard time giving Wisconsin RB's credit for their yardage total given the system they ran. He had a fantastic year though (2000 yds, 20 tds).

Hamilton (along with Friedgen) basically revitalized the Georgia Tech program from pure shite to top 10 status in his career.

He led GT's offense toe-to-toe with FSU's 99 team, on the road. We scored the most points on that FSU defense easily (and AT FSU). Next closest team was VT in the championship game with Vick at 29 points.

I don't think Joe is top 5. Hard to argue with the others mentioned in this thread. But his senior year stats:

3060 yds passing (66% completion), 29 td, 11 int.
734 yds rushing, 6 td.

His problem is that he really struggled his freshman year, and while he played well as a sophomore and junior, he didn't put up fantastic stats.

GT's defense was horrendous in 99 (it was decent in 98 and turned the ball over a lot which is why they won 10 games in an 11 game season plus bowl game).
