how do you lead the nation in about every TE stat and you are projected as a top ten 1st rd draft pick and not win the award. do these voters really watch college football

Don't forget that Mayer isn't just a glorified receiver like Bowers. Highest graded TE all season.

Every conceivable metric (Except rushing stats...) Mayer had him beat. Ridiculous.

DJ Williams played in the SEC so we know he voted for Bowers
Keith Jackson is from Arkansas (played at OU) but announced UA games when they were in the SEC so he voted Bowers.
Dienhart hates ND
Corso hates ND & is sadly in no condition to vote on anything

You're not wrong on the 2nd part of that sentence, but Corso doesn't hate Notre Dame. He's actually Catholic, and while we're not his Seminoles he does pick the Irish often and threatened not to pick a side in the OSU/ND game this year.

Disagree. He uses his “Catholicism” as proof he isn’t anti-ND. When you have to announce that you’re Catholic so you couldn’t possibly be anti-ND…you’re anti-ND. Just b/c a person is Catholic in no way excuses them from being anti-ND.

I didnt watch because these awards are now officially a joke-the QB from southern cal and no Mayer-speaks for itself-what a bunch of clowns I'll never buy another Phil Steele publication-really this was clown city.

I'm officially boycotting giving any validity to that joke of an award and committee. They can eat a fat big D and that'll be last time I even speak of it on here. These awards are losing all credibility imo. Not naming Harrison Jr the best WR was just as much of a joke and crime.

I feel bad for Mayer and somewhat bad for any ND fans that were not expecting this result.

This has been happening for years now. Starting with Quentin Nelson, then Julian Love and now Mayer. Just clearly the best at their positions in the given season and getting snubbed.

I watch a disgusting amount of College Gameday and I agree with Ulukinatme, Corso is most definitely not anti-ND. He picks them more times then not and he raves about the University. The only true anti-ND guys on that show are Desmond Howard and "the Bear" and the latter is leaving for FOX anyways.

Fuck that guy. He's a douchebag that is terrible at the one thing they put him on camera for, and loves pointing out all the betting trends that go against ND... then you don't hear a word when his picks are wrong lol. I don't have the time or the energy to look up his picks from Gameday all year, but I'd bet he's under 40%.

Don’t forget Rocket Ismail being runner-up to Ty Detmer for Heisman.

Oh they show his record on screen every Saturday morning and I question why they even do so; he's well below 50%. I agree, so long man.

I never really liked Big Noon Kickoff, not only was I curious why they'd put two Trojans on the same panel, but then they went and hired Urban Meyer, who left for Jacksonville, then after all that happened there, they still hired him back. Disgusting.

Agree to disagree. I watched GameDay in its infancy when Corso was lucid. No question in my mind he’s no fan of ND. I don’t think he “hates” them but every time he picked against them he would go out of his way to say “hey I’m Catholic” as a ’Get Out of Jail Free’ card. I’ve got friends who are Catholic and they hate it when it’s assumed they are ND fans…which makes them hate ND more.

Maybe ND will finally wise up and force NBC to do the thing we all want:

Bring Brady Quinn home.

Exactly. It’s subjective and quite frankly was probably decided before the season started (barring injury) b/c of the blowback that Bowers should’ve won as a true freshman. Mayer will be fine. Bowers will, too.

Been fighting with Georgia fans the last few days. They're some of the most ignorant assclowns I've ever seen, they've never bothered to watch any film on the guy and just assume Bowers wipes the floor with him. One guy claimed Mayer couldn't hold Bowers' jock and he'd probably be a day 2 or even 3 pick. He literally had no idea Mayer is projected to be the #1 TE off the board and estimated as a Top 7-15 overall pick...and they wonder why fans complain about the SEC bias. Mayer got robbed.
