Here are some of the usual suspects to spark some discussion:

Vince Young, QB, Texas
Tommie Frazier, QB, Nebraska
Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
Peyton Manning, QB, Tennessee
Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
Ndamukong Suh, DL, Nebraska
Michael Vick, QB, Virginia Tech
Johnny Majors, HB, Tennessee

Put me down for McFadden. Dude was their best running back. Best quarterback. Introduced us to the wildcat and could just flat out ball. Watched him come into tiger stadium in 07 and throw with the arkansas qbs pregame before running for over 200 yards against a national championship team with two top 5 picks on the d line. Mcfadden was just on a whole other level.
Close 1B guy for me is suh. Man amongst boys.

Larry Fitzgerald 2003 is the biggest snub in history. I mean Jason White? Really??

Young would have won the Heisman today over Bush even before the Rose Bowl because of how apparent it has become that QB is so much more important and difficult as compared to RB.

This is a stupid argument that is always made in hindsight. Jason White was a great player for a dominant Oklahoma offense in 2003. Throwing 40 TDs in a season at that time was unheard of.

Rex Grossman should've won it in 2001 over Eric Crouch.

True. And looking atthe makeups of both teams, Bush was less important to his team than Young. Bush was electric and I have no issue with him winning but in hindsight it's easily Vince that should've won it.

I go Fraizer from that list. The one Crouch has was a makeup for failing to give Fraizer one.
Suh is a good one. No question he was the best player in college that year.

And? He isn’t even close to being the ‘best player’ to never win the heisman
