    Remember y'all - Paul Hornung from ND deserved the Heisman Trophy in 1956 because he threw THIRTEEN INTERCEPTIONS while Johnny Majors at Tennessee ran for 5.1 yards per carry and 7 TDs, threw for 552 yards and 5 more TDs and had a 61% completion percentage That's been your UT Public Service Announcement of the day

    @@guineapigclips5205 Well, let's unpack some of that. His Punt and Kick returns didn't help ND win more than TWO GAMES games that year, they were 2-7. However, HIS THIRTEEN INTERCEPTIONS THROWN certainly cost them games, without any doubt. They lost 13 - 19 to SMU to start the year, he threw 2 INTs, they lost to Perdue AT HOME 14 - 28, he threw 2 INTs, and to end the year, they lost to So. Cal 20 - 28, he threw 3 INTs. And in between those close losses, they were DESTROYED by Michigan St 14 - 47, Oklahoma 0 - 40, Navy 7 - 33 and Iowa 8 - 48, games in which he threw more INTs.............................. Johnny Majors and Tennessee went 10 - 1 that year, with wins over Auburn, Duke, who used to be VERY good in football in the 50s, a signature 24 - 0 win over Alabama, a 34 - 7 win over Maryland, who also used to be VERY good in football in the 50s, and two HUGE wins over #2 Georgia Tech, their only loss in the regular season, and over Mississippi, who only lost 2 games that year. They lost 7 - 13 to Baylor, in their best season of football before the 2000's. So. Tell me again how Paul Hornung and his THIRTEEN INTs, which helped cause his team to go 2 - 7 that year, deserves the Heisman over Johnny Majors, who was the main offensive reason Tennessee went 10 - 1 with wins over THE best teams in college football at the time aside from Oklahoma, who nobody beat for 5 years...

    @@rockytoptom lets unpack tennessees schedule that year. They started by playing a very mediocre Auburn team who beat a grand total of 1 team with 6 or more wins (6-4 kentucky). Then they played Duke who you claim was "very good at football," even though duke went 5-4-1 that year. they then played Chattanooga, and got their "signature" win against a 2-7-1 Alabama. Then they played Maryland who you claim was "also very good at football" despite them going 2-7-1 that year. Then they played a 2-7-1 UNC team. GT was a good win, but Majors might as well have not been there because the offense only put up 6 points. Ole Miss is in the same boat as auburn, only having beat one team with 6 or more wins (6-4 kentucky). They beat 6-4 kentucky and 5-5 Vandy to finish the season before getting beat by Baylor because the offense could only muster up 7 points. Compare that to NDs schedule which included SIX top 20 teams and FOUR teams inside the top 12 incuding the national champion sooners. Against top 20 teams NDs offense averaged DOUBLE that of Tennessees. Even against a MUCH harder schedule and one less game, Hornung outgained Majors by 250 yards. Like it or not, the heisman went to the best player in the country, not the best team.

Tennessee is an SEC team that hasn’t won anything worth mentioning so they got left out but that’s college football…controversy with rankings. People can bash Iowa but Iowa played for a conference title last year…Tennessee hasn’t made that claim in DECADES so it actually makes sense

    EA Sports is smart and they understand that part of college football is debates and controversy with things like polls and playoffs selections. These are only PRESEASON rankings and will change once the season starts and real games are played. EA rankings and ratings have created conversation which in turn has created content for YT and the sports media…there are 100 videos posted all discussing these rankings/ratings including this channel. Bottom line…EA could have just gone with the AP rankings but that wouldn’t create discussion so in other words they got it right
