Pretty shitty year for the Heisman if we're honest. Te'o really shouldn't even be in the conversation. He hasn't done anything outstanding that makes him stand out. It's very difficult for a defensive player to get in the mix without being a sack monster or a returner/pick machine like Woodson was. Te'o is a great defensive player, but if Notre Dame wasn't in the NC mix ... would we even give two fukks about him right now? Probably not. Manziel probably has the best numbers, Marqise Lee is probably the best player but loses because Lane Kiffin sucks dick.
