Meh.
I doubt any of them give a shit about 2nd and 3rd. If you look at the regions, I'm willing to bet that there are more people in the SE that voted for Mason 2nd than McCarron, and it was the other regions that put AJ in 2nd place because they didn't know who else to vote for.
The trophy is stupid anyway. If Manziel's season was flipped, he wins his second. If he started off with two rough games and then finished 10 straight games with multiple 500+ yard 4+ touchdown performances, he wins. But no, he ends the season with two less than stellar game, so the kid who admitted to running trains on girls with his roommate wins because he's a good quarterback on a loaded team that plays no competition.
