Got until Saturday to vote. Able to change picks until then. Better seed wins tie breaker.

This is solely based on their Heisman winning season+post season.

Week 1 - Round 1

Matchup #2 - #8 seed 1999 Ron Dayne (Wisconsin, RB) vs #9 seed 2004 Matt Leinart (USC, QB)
Matchup #1 - #1 seed 2010 Cam Newton (Auburn, QB) vs #16 seed 2009 Mark Ingram (Alabama, RB)

No rematches. Winner of 1st matchup wins 2nd matchup.

I think this was a tough one. I picked Ron Dayne because he was more predictable and still got a ton of yards without the playmakers around him. He might have had the better OL but Leinart also had Reggie Bush (IMO, Bush should have been a 2x Heisman winner).

I think without Ron Dayne, Wisconsin would have been a lot worse. I think USC had enough talent that they would still have been really good without Leinart. I also thought Adrian Peterson should have won Heisman that season.
