They let Tom Osburne win it all for the same reason, might as well.Without a doubt. No other QB can say they got 3 rings with maybe #4 on the way. Body of work will win it.

Trent Richardson - as much as I loved him - was not the best player in the country in 2011. I think the Heisman is an overrated trophy for the most part anyway (though they've gotten better) but here's the formula I use:
Take TR off 2011 Alabama - they still win the national championship. Only the LSU game was even close and since we lost the first one we cannot say Richardson was the difference.
Now take RG3 off of Baylor - they got from 8-3 to 4-7 or worse. Thus, it's RG3 as the winner.
I do, however, agree with you regarding the overrated Honey Badger.
And also the idiots who voted for Ndamukong Suh in 2011 based solely on one game.
Oh yeah that's rightIt happened at least once before with Leinart and Bush in 2005.
When he wins his 3rd straight title, AJ's gotta win it right? I don't know if any other QB in NCAA history lead his team to three straight titles as a starter (correct me if I am wrong). At least in the modern era.
Unfortunately, the Heisman is for the best player for that year. However, it would be hard to not think about what AJ accomplished when that 3rd straight title is won.
