He deserved it. It's so stupid that Lawrence finished second though.
Yeah, I was pretty shocked to see that. My only guess is that voters didn't want to have an Alabama player at #1 and #2.
they would have changed it for ANY team that was still undefeated and was clearly the better team.
Heisman voting is a funny thing isn't it
Oh, I don't disagree at all. Still, regardless of what team it was, you still have a team that played considerably less games than everyone else competing for a national championship, which, in a physical sport like football, doesn't make much sense.
it's a rona season, in a normal season i would agree, but things were all over the place this year.
Sort of all over the place with a few exceptions. One of which was the BIG 10 opening the season with a minimum of 6 games required to play in their championship game. They only CHANGED that rule when it was realized that OSU wouldn't qualify.
OSU should be sitting at home already and never played Clemson.
the 6 game rule never made sense, especially because they were starting late. it's a rona season. OSU deserves to be in the playoffs as denoted by them WHOOPING what was considered one of the best teams in the country
be mad about some stupid corona rule that made no sense if you want, you just wanna complain about osu
Well it only happened with 1 team, so I can't prove my point that it isn't OSU but that I would have said this for any other team as well.
With the point of it being a rona season, all the more reason to just put the teams that actually played the required amount of games into the CFP.
I am currently complaining about how they changed the rules to accommodate 1 team, had they not, you would have been complaining about the rule itself. That happens all the time.
I don't think the argument is about the quality of OSU; I believe the argument is that one team has considerably less wear and tear than the others due to playing less games.
rona season, shit happens
The Alabama Crimson Tide 2020 National Champions!!!!!!!!!
I even went and bought a bunch of the National Championship gear after this one because, after some reflection, this really has been my favorite Alabama team. We went from a disappointing two years (due to expectations) with the "savior" Tua to unheralded Mac Jones becoming the true greatest QB in Alabama football history. Even DeVonta was in the shadow of players like Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs, and was kind of in the shadow of Waddle early on, before emerging as one of the greatest receivers of all time. And Najee just silently broke a whole bunch of rushing records at Alabama. And insane respect for Jaylen Waddle coming back from that injury to make some key plays in this game.
Undefeated season with a full SEC schedule. Those seniors came back with a mission, and they accomplished it. So happy for this team. Just wish DeVonta hadn't gotten injured at the start of the second half; prior to that, he had more yards/TDs than the entire OSU offense. One can only imagine what all records would have been set had he not been injured. But even with the best player in college football off the field, and even with Mac Jones banged up, this team just pushed forward and left no doubt in anyone's mind who the greatest team this season was. Roll tide!!!

No doubt. Defense rose up as well, Barmore beasted. Saban is a class act all around- runs the best program in football in the past 50 years. Rivals Bear Bryant as a coach.
A thought on the hot subject of Alabama ruining college football. Those people ignore the fact that this Bama season only happened because a group of (future millionaire) seniors came back to win a natty and finish out their degrees. Seems like something that should be applauded.
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I haven't seen many articles complaining about Alabama, but I've seen enough.
Then again, the only reason Alabama doesn't just win it every season is because stars leave early and Saban can't maintain coordinators to save his life. The 2020 Alabama team was pretty much a young NFL team on offense.
Also saw an article calling out Alabama for letting Waddle play at all. I'm just thinking, "Really? The man set coming back and playing in the National Championship as his goal when he went down. The coaches let him play, but kept him extremely limited and didn't have him doing anything dangerous (e.g. returning punts, running deep routes). What were they supposed to do? Tell him to go fuck himself?"
the coaches literally met with waddle and his family before the game to fully discuss HIS decision, and he made it. dude was limping around from cramps. i'm sure he has zero regrets about it
