It certainly doesn’t hurt a Heisman Trophy candidate to be
featured on a national championship contending team.  The
accompanying media exposure often provides the additional
hype that could later influence the Heisman voting.  The Catch-
22 to that argument is that is because of the player displaying
"Heisman" talent that the team is positioned for a national title
to begin with.  Listed below are the Heisman winners that also
played for national champions.
