"I think any credible Heisman candidate will be playing in a bowl game."

regardless of whether or not this is likely to be true, it is not
required to play for in a bowl before you can be considered for the
Heisman.

not to mention the extra game would skew that stats. the Heisman should
be awarded after the regular season and before the post season for all the
same reasons the NFL MVP is, and it's really simple. it's an award for
performance during the regular season. post season performance is
specifically and intentionally excluded from consideration.

we're suggesting a cure (that kills) for a disease that doesn't exist.
this "controversy" simply doesn't crop up most of the time. people are getting
worked up because they think the HT would have gone to a different player
on the basis of one bowl game. even if the HT had been awarded after the bowl
season this year, I'm not sure it would have made a difference. but I am sure that
most other football program's season ended over a month ago. and I am sure
that's why awarding the HT after the bowls is unfair to most of the other
NCAA I-A programs.
