Kyler Murray wins the Heisman, and more! (NCAA)

In case you live under a rock and didn't hear about this, the annual Heisman trophy presentation happened. Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray won the prestigious award, and rightly so. He beat out Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins, and Alabama's Tua Tagovaolia for the nod. As someone who follows college football quite closely, I agree on this result. 

While Tagovaolia had a great season himself, he sat out too many fourth quarters, and was putting up numbers on crappy teams due to a light schedule. Anyone can beat up on Citadel and other weaklings, and this shouldn't be rewarded. Haskins had some great games, and even torched Michigan badly this season. That being said, Murray had the best numbers, beat quality opponents, and didn't sit out near the end of any games. He proved he can beat anyone with his arm, or his legs.

The UCF controversy. Still. I was watching Pardon The Interruption the other night on ESPN, and they happened to bring up (again!) the fact that UCF is perfect this season, and don't get any respect from the committee, citing weak schedule, etc. I'm still not buying that. It's not up to the school to set the schedule, as the NCAA ultimately makes the decisions, based on conference, among other factors. The committee could have easily ranked UCF higher this season (who played some decent games, beating a couple of ranked teams), but chose not to. This is another case of the establishment telling us what we want, instead of giving us what we really want.

Personally, I'm sick of almost the same four schools in the playoff race every year, the exception being Notre Dame, who are legitimately the best team out there this year, and got to where they are due to their own hard work and determination.
