So Christian McCaffrey officially did not win the Heisman. While Derrick Henry is certainly a worthy winner, a lot of folks out West still think McCaffrey was more deserving, and I am one of those people.
McCaffrey is far from the first Pac-12 player to miss out on the award when he had a case to win it though. Looking through the history books, here are some Pac-12 players I think at least had a strong case to have won over the actual winner.
Here are questionable years in regards to Pac-12 candidates.
2011 - Winner = Robert Griffin III QB Baylor | Pac-12 candidate = Andrew Luck QB Stanford
Many thought Luck was a shoe in for the Heisman after coming close in 2010 to lose out to an epic campaign by Cam Newton but RGIII came out of nowhere to put together a year similar to Cam's and edge out Luck.
