🏈 Is this premature? Yes. The point AJ isn't getting Heisman recognition isn't the story...

Assuming one thing—Bama wins the BCSNC this season.

How many of you have realized that there's a HUGE possibility that AJ, despite winning three national championships as a starting QB, is not going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame?

The rules for those who don't know. The University needs to get some more attention on this. Hell, Coach Saban needs to flat out just say it in one of his pressers. I wouldn't see it as being whiny, but just making the case for AJ.

I believe the 5 used for Consensus are:

• American Football Coaches Association
• Associated Press
• Football Writers Association of America
• The Sporting News
• Walter Camp Football Foundation

Hall of Fame Criteria:

1. FIRST AND FOREMOST, A PLAYER MUST HAVE RECEIVED FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICA RECOGNITION BY A SELECTOR RECOGNIZED BY THE NCAA AND UTILIZED TO COMPRISE THEIR CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICA TEAMS.
2. A player becomes eligible for consideration by the NFF's Honors Court ten years after his last year of intercollegiate football played.
3. While each nominee's football achievements in college are of prime consideration, his post-football record as a citizen is also weighed. He must have proven himself worthy as a citizen, carrying the ideals of football forward into his relations with his community. Consideration may also be given for academic honors and whether or not the candidate earned a college degree.
4. In accordance to the 50-year rule*, players must have played their last year of intercollegiate football within the last 50 years. For example, to be eligible for the 2013 ballot, the player must have played his last year in 1961 or thereafter. In addition, current professional players and / or coaches are not eligible until retirement.
5. A coach becomes eligible three years after retirement or immediately following retirement provided he is at least 70 years old. Active coaches become eligible at 75 years of age. He must have been a head coach for a minimum of 10 years and coached at least 100 games with a .600 winning percentage*.

There's no way he will be a First Team All American with Manziel in our conference.
