I feel bad for Andrew, the team, and Stanford. I really feel that RG3 winning the trophy is not a brobdingnagian injustice. I would have preferred Luck win, but Griffin had a spectacular season. Toby not winning, in contrast, was an enormous injustice. That is when I gave up all hope of the Voldemort being "fair," by my personal reckoning.
If I had my druthers (I don't really talk like that, but it seemed like the right thing to say in advance of the Fiesta Bowl.), I'd start a campaign to elevate some other award decided on a less arbitrary basis to the premier annual award. I also think about Trent Richardson--without even getting into the "best-player-on-best-team" argument. He was allegedly the voters favorite after Alabama's last game. What did he do that caused him to fall to third place? I know. Not play the final week.
The process stinks. Not the winner.
