Something that comes to mind regarding the Heisman situation. If Boise wins one before any of another number of programs who are historically better and should have probably gotten one by now, in the process of attempting to “validate” the award and the process of awarding it, it would in fact invalidate it in yet another way. The statistical likelihood of a Boise Heisman in the absence of a winner from any number of the other schools is essentially zero, which would set off every alarm in the book in the stats and research world. Give it to Banks Pope from Clemson and call it a day.
