unfortunately if memory serves me correctly, when players start winning these awards it usually mean this is what they are getting instead of the Heisman. I may be wrong but when I see players win the maxwell and walter camp it tells me that someone else is going to win the big one.

According to wikepedia here are the years it differed
Walter Camp winner
2003 Larry Fitzgerald (Heisman runner up to Jason White)
2002 Larry Johnson (Carson Palmer wins Heisman)
2000 Josh Heupel (Heisman Runner up to Chris Wienke)
1990 Rocket Ismail (Heisman Runner up to Ty Detmer)
1989 Anthony Thompson RB Indiana (Heisman Runner Up to Andre Ware)
1980 Hugh Green DE Pitt (Heisman Runner up to George Rogers)
1977 Ken MacAfee TE Notre Dame (Heisman went to Earl campbell)
1967 OJ Simpson (Heisman Runner up to Gary Beban UCLA QB)
first year listed

Thus the Walter camp award has lead to the Heisman 32/40 or 75% of the time.

I was proud of myself for looking something up for a change, and hadn't updated the board recently.

According to Trey Biddy this afternoon, Carson Palmer is the only QB to win the Heisman and not play for a national championship in the same season in the last 15-20 years. Palmer's USC team played in the Rose Bowl and finished #2.

Tebow is a great player, but it is hard to justify him for the Heisman. He isn't playing for a national championship and if you want to go by numbers, Colt Brennan, Chase Daniel, Paul Smith and others are just as deserving.
