I was asked recently who the five finalists will be at this year’s Heisman ceremony.
The assumption is that there are always five finalists when, in reality, that is rarely the case.
Here are the number of Heisman finalists each year for the last 20 years. As you can see, it is more common to have four, or even three, finalists at the ceremony:
2010–four
2009–five
2008–three
2007–four
2006–three
2005–three
2004–five
2003–four
2002–five
2001–four
2000–three
1999–four
1998–four
1997–four
1996–four
1995–four
1994–four
1993–four
1992–three
1991–four
I think there is a very good chance there will only be three finalists in New York this year, with four being an outside possibility and five being highly unlikely.
Lets be honest, they really only need to invite one this year
I agree…Trent Richardson.
I suspect they’ll invite 4 this year:
Richardson, Luck, RG3, Keenum.
