Strike a pose
The Heisman trophy award presentation is tonight, and the odds on favorite is Oklahoma Quarterback Jason White, whose otherwise quality season was marred by a disastrous outing against Kansas State in last week's Big XII championship. The other top candidates are Pitt's WR Larry Fitzgerald, Running Back Chris Perry of Michigan, and Ole Miss QB Eli Manning.

Wilbon takes a look at why nobody cares about the Heisman anymore. His answer basically boils down to a list of names:

Winners from 1974-1988 -- Ohio State's Archie Griffin (twice), Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Billy Sims, Charles White, George Rogers, Marcus Allen, Herschel Walker, Mike Rozier, Doug Flutie, Bo Jackson, Vinny Testaverde, Tim Brown, Barry Sanders.

Winners from 1989 -- Andre Ware, Ty Detmer, Desmond Howard, Gino Torretta, Charlie Ward, Rashaan Salaam, Eddie George, Danny Wuerffel, Charles Woodson, Ricky Williams, Ron Dayne, Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Carson Palmer.

My vote is for Chris Perry, a hossback if ever there was one. But running backs are about the only 'skill position' players that I like.
