PAC-12 QB's left off Heismanology poll in week 14

…but this asinine bullshit criteria is entirely on the four-letter network.

An 8 team playoff with conference champions is SO easy to do while keeping the bowl system intact.

but RG3 really is deserving of the Heisman

Griffin III vs. Luck

* First of all, if you can look at the charts for Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck above and find a reason that Luck should be ahead of Griffin on anyone’s ballot, please let me know. This is a collegiate award, not the NFL draft.
* RGIII completed 2.4% more of his passes than did Andrew Luck against a slate of defenses that allowed 0.7% fewer completions.
* He averaged nearly 90 yards more than each Baylor opponent allowed otherwise, Luck only threw for 33 more yards that Stanford opponents were allowing on average.
* Furthermore, Luck’s explosive passes (10+, 20+, etc) were basically in line with his opponents’ season totals, he had one extra 10 yard completion per game, while RGIII bettered each of the Baylor opponents’ season numbers in over 3 fewer attempts per game.
* Griffin III averaged 2.2 yards per attempt more than Luck against a slate of defenses that allowed .3 fewer yards per attempt than Luck.
* Opponents were half as likely to intercept Griffin as other quarterbacks they faced; Stanford opponents intercepted Luck at a nearly identical rate to the rest of their schedules.
* I didn’t include Griffin or Luck’s rushing totals here, but feel free to take a look at those on your own – they are heavily slanted in Griffin’s favor.
* I think the most striking point for Griffin is the following: Griffin had a higher passer rating against a tougher slate of defenses; in fact, the difference between Griffin’s passer rating and his opponents’ (61.5) was nearly twice that of the difference between Luck and Stanford’s opponents’ (31.8).
