A ton of things happened during the 2010s in college football. Schools switched conferences left and right. The bowl system finally got a needed change. Multiple players won the Heisman in their first college football seasons.
If you want an example of just how quickly football can change, just take a look at the top 10 in the 2010 Heisman Trophy voting. Only two — Heisman winner Cam Newton and ninth-place Andy Dalton — have been on the field during a regular-season NFL game in 2019.
Yeah, things change a lot over 10 years of football.
