Was just thinking after looking at the http://heismanpundit.com/2012/05/01/the-2012-heisman-trophy-watch-list/ 2012 watch list, if Clemson and ND were in the Big 12 this year, the Big 12 would have 7 of the 18 on the list in their conference, the SEC would have 6 of the rest as well.  13 of the 18 players come from the SEC or Big 12.  2 from the B1G, and 3 from the Pac.

I guess welcome to the new reality.  The new national champion will come out of the SEC or Big 12 most years, as well as the Heisman winner.
