Vote distribution is the issue here - 60% of the voters are on the Eastern seaboard so any West candidate better be head and shoulders above any Eastern candidate.

I'm not blaming the television schedule.  Stanford had plenty of prime time national games. Unbelievably Spoiled Children (twice), the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends, Oregon and, I believe, Northwestern.  If we're hanging our F Stanford award hopes on better broadcasting times for the WSU and Low APR U games then we're really reaching.

I think most of us are just trying to understand the reasoning behind the guy with the 3rd best resume among finalists winning the award.

My personal issue isn't even so much McCaffrey not winning, but the fact that Henry won.  Watson was more deserving than Henry imo.

Henry was the fourth best running back at running the football this year. FOURTH. Elliot, Fournette, and Cook were all better. The fact that he won anything is a giant crock of shit and just goes to show that no one who votes on these awards has any idea at all how evaluate them.
