Face facts.....no Heisman Trophy winner will ever come from a non-BCS school.
I hear ya...but 12 winners since 1935 have come from non-BCS schools. The last was that little prick from bWHYu in 1990. So...it can happen, but yes, it is rare.
Lot of nominees from non BCS-schools by the way...of course voting has some to do with it as well. How can you win a popularity contest when you don't have population on your side in the first place! The east coast / SEC bias really comes into play unfortunately.
What I also found interesting, is that if you take a look at the last few modern day (all BCS) winners (not counting 2007, 2008, 2009) and checked out how many of them actually made a splash in the NFL...
