CFB: Heisman Winners Best-to-Worst
The Heisman trophy is one of the most prestigious trophies in all of sports. When an award literally spells out He-Is-Man, how much more awesome can it get? The award in today's day and age has been (in personal opinion) harder to accomplish compared to prior years, considering a player named Paul Hornung won the award despite a 2-8 team record. That is something you would not see in today's game. Now we are going to rank, best-to-worst, the last 10 Heisman seasons.
