He was not the best offensive player on one of the best teams (Richardson) He was not the best player on the best team (Honey Badger) He was not the best player in the country (Honey Badger) He did not have to carry his team (Luck, Ball) He was not the best QB (Luck) He was not in a league that played any defense (Honey Badger, Richardson, Ball) He was not the most valuable player (Luck, Richardson) He was not the most outstanding player (Luck) He did not win the most games (Honey Badger) He did not have the most game changing moments (Honey Badger, Luck, maybe Richardson) He did not make a BCS Bowl (Honey Badger, Luck, Richardson)
The award should be have been the Honey Badger's...FACT
But the idiots were never going to give it to a defensive player, or a player who was suspended, cause that has to do with being the best player in the country.
From: Iamdead7 | #011 Stanford was in the Rose Bowl like 10 years ago without Luck
Baylor hadn't been to a bowl in like 15 years before RG3
What the hell does this have to do with Baylor being a MUCH better team than Stanford this year (not including the QB's, if you include the QBs, Stanford is the better team, all because of Luck)

Haha what? Baylor is like a 3-win team at best without RG3. They have one of the worst defenses in the nation and I dare you to name a single player on the team other than RG3.

Of course they do, they are in a joke conference where no one gives up less than 50 a game.
I would not be surprised if 8 of the 10 teams were bottom 20 for defense in America.
Stanford's also a high quality team at almost every position, take it from a Pac-12 guy. They have one of the best offensive lines in the country. Luck is a huge factor on that team but he doesn't carry it, they'd still win at least 8 games with an average QB at that spot instead.
