Here's a handy way to predict the Heisman Trophy winner: List every team in the country and then eliminate every possible contender from those teams outside the top 10.
Only twice since 2000 has the Heisman winner come from this group. In 2011, Baylor's Robert Griffin III won with the Bears ranked No. 16 in the final USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll of the regular season. Louisville's Lamar Jackson took home the Heisman in 2016 with the Cardinals ranked No. 15.
All of the current crop of Heisman front-runners hail from the nation's best teams, including perennial powers Alabama and Ohio State.
