Is the Heisman Voting System Broken?

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

When McCaffrey puts up unprecedented numbers for the entire season, how is it possible that he could lose so badly when it came down to the voters?

In this edition of Cardinal CounTree, Matt Vassar discusses whether Christian McCaffrey was actually close to winning the Heisman Trophy over Derrick Henry or if that is just a media-spun fallacy. To finish the show, he talks about the men's soccer team winning the national championship over Clemson, and how Stanford extends a NCAA-best streak of 40 consecutive years with a national championship.
