Seeds are from Ranking the Heisman Trophy Winners of the BCS Era on NFL and CFB Success

*Bush is not included on the list, so I put him at #16. Completes the bracket. Ranking is also by their CFB and NFL careers, but it is the best list I found.

Vote solely based on their Heisman winning season.

One of those guys led his team to the all time points scored in a season record.
The other ran an outdated form of option football that GT kinda runs today.



The End.

Much closer than I thought it would be.

Bradford is the better all round QB and was crazy accurate (no doubt), but Crouch (imo) was the more fun and dynamic player to watch.

But w/e, call me biased lol.

That trio of Bradford, McCoy and Tebow was bananas that year. Bradford was lights out, though, so had to go with him.

Harrell to Crabtree connection was pretty exciting as well.

When I was in college in Nebraska, when Husker fans talked about Heisman winners, they briefly talked about Crouch and went on and on about Mike Rozier. He is almost a, "Oh yeah, he won Heisman too for Nebraska."
