criticism
Criticism of the Heisman Trophy is expressed against the strong preference given to players from Power Five Conferences . For example, in 1990, Ty Detmer, a player from a Group of Five team, won. He won just 43% of the vote that year despite setting 42 new NCAA records and setting five more.
