I preface, that I am a fan of college football and it's history. I root for the Wisconsin Badgers, follow the polls and games, subscribe to and write for Girdiron Greats Quarterly and own photos of Frank Leahy and Alan Ameche and the Four Horseman.

Is it just me, or has the Heisman Trophy become irrelevant and stupid? It's not about who's going to be a good NFL player (that's fine), it's not about who's the best player in the nation, it's about who's the best quarterback(usually) on a top 5 team. The media has the first poll on who's the Heisman Trophy leader before the first game is played (?!?)

Does anyone (other than the school partisan, sportwriter who has to come up with a topic for the regular column and the television network) care anymore?

As a test, can anyone name the last four Heisman Trophy winners?
