That's a huge collection of suckage, with only RGIII looking like a sure elite QB.

This would be a great post if we were talking about AJ McCarron winning the Heisman. Miami, Florida State, OU, USC, tOSU, Florida are all traditional powers. QB is an important position. Combine the two and you get a lot of Heisman bias for underwhelming talents. The exceptions are Detmer, Newton, and RGIII. A&M is A&M... Not any of those schools listed.
