They seem to place way too much emphasis on winning the Heisman. I just prefer NCs, conference championships and overall wins! A Heisman is just "gravy."
In all the years we had played and never had a Heisman winner. It really never bother me one bit. Now we have two well it really does not add to what Alabama Football is. I agree, N.C. and SEC championships are more important. Looking back at some of the teams of the 70's, we could have had more that one Heisman winner, but CPB was all about the team winning. At least we were above ND in the article.
I think I would drop Nebraska out of the top ten, but the rankings look pretty solid.

Teams are listed in alphabetical order within each score. Bama and its 4 peers are tied with a score of 10.
I can understand their reasoning for having us tied, but, the ultimate goal of a College Football Program is to win the NC Trophy & no team comes close to Alabama in the history of the game of doing that..
By their count we have 11 to Notre Dames 8, Sooners 7 & Buckeyes 6

Yeah, I guess it's not an order but just a rating.

Yeah, it's a team sport. This isn't golf or tennis (singles).

LSwho???? why?
UGA??? Because Herschel went there? Most overrated school in the country. Shouldn't Georgia Tech be in here somewhere?
Miami? Not so sure about that but what the heck. They've made a great nemesis for the real blue bloods.
Auburn??? If it wasn't for Alabama, would they be considered? I seriously doubt it. But, I would choose them over UGA to be on this list.
Clemson? I don't get that one either. What about Georgia Tech? hint/hint
Oregon? They have never won anything. Definitely not.
Wisconsin? Maybe
Arkansas? Sorry, no.
I tend to think a team on this list should have had great teams over 2 or 3 distinct generations during which they won some conference champions. Heisman winners are a non-qualifier unless it can be proved the winner was great mostly due to great coaching.
