Some college football seasons see a clear winner, while others are so competitive that the winner is literally up in the air. Interestingly, some years result in some truly bizarre and unforgivable last-minute first-place votes. <\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Cody Nagel combed through the voting results to see if he could identify them. <span class=\"link\">The 10 most bizarre first-place votes in Heisman history<\/span>. Interestingly, in 2005, two entries were on the season list. <strong>reggie bush<\/strong> He was clearly a deserving winner.

Tagovailoa was the Heisman runner-up in 2018, and there was an argument that he would have been in full contention for the trophy if he had played a full season in 2019. But he missed three games with an injury. He was on pace to outperform in 2018, so until you consider who actually won in 2019, there&#8217;s probably an incident there.&#8221;\n<p>\u201d<strong>Joe Burrow<\/strong> He received the second-most first-place votes (841) and the largest margin of victory (1,846 points) in Heisman history. Even if you project Tagovailoa&#8217;s pace to match the 15 games Burrow played, he still falls short of what LSU&#8217;s quarterback accomplished in his historic offense.
