If the Heisman trophy were to be awarded today

[greybeard]

Marcus Mariota would win--currently has 23 first place votes-7 2nd place votes-zero third place votes for a tally of 83 points.
Voting ends Dec 8. The formula is:
3 points for every 1st place vote---2 points for each 2nd place vote, and 3rd place votes are worth one point each.

As it stands today (with a LOT of voting yet to take place)

1. Marcus Mariota, Junior, QB, Oregon: 23-7-0 = 83

2. Melvin Gordon, Junior, RB, Wisconsin: 7-23-0= 67

3. Dak Prescott, Junior, QB, Mississippi State: 0-0-11 = 11

4. J.T. Barrett, Freshman, QB, Ohio State: 0-0-8 = 8

5. Amari Cooper, Junior, WR, Alabama: 0-0-6 = 6

6. Trevone Boykin, Junior, QB, TCU: 0-0-2 = 2

7. Tevin Coleman, Junior, RB, Indiana: 0-0-2 = 2

8. Jameis Winston, Sophomore, QB, Florida State = 0-0-1 = 1

Can't argue with that.

I wonder if the true ballot will have that much separation between two and three. Oregon has never had a heisman.

Can you say Roll-Tide!!! :banana:

Is it just me or is this one of the most boring Heisman races this year that we've seen in a long long time? Remember all the campaigning some of these schools would do at the beginning of the year for their "Heisman hopefull" (i.e. Purdue)

Possibly the new playoff format is to blame for taking a lot of attention away from the Heisman race? Which isn't necessarily a negative. I'm all for more focus on TEAM than I am on the individual.

Or it could be because for the first time in several years the front runner doesn't have a history of making headlines for his off field antics....... He did get a speeding ticket a couple of weeks ago! :shock:

The last several years, yes, but I'm more referring to the last 15-20 years. That Tebow guy sure was a menace off the field :lol2:

 

[highgrit]

"True, with luck we may get both this year!" I was thinking the same thing Alan. If Oregon plays Ohio for the national championship I will be pulling for Oregon. Other wise I'm pulling for a team from the south.

I always liked Tebow, until he went to the SEC network, now he's just anoth SEC homer! :hide: But a great kid morally.

:tiphat: can't blame you for that, ducks still need to get by a weak Oregon St team and then it looks like a very tough UCLA.

Also tn cattle man, I tried to say roll t..blahhhhh, role t........blahhhh. I just gag when I try it. :lol:

GB you don't think the QB from Baylor will get invited to the Heisman dance if they keep winning?

Maybe, and his #s are good enough but the fact that Baylor played a 2 QB offense for the first 3 games hurt his chances--Petty only played the 1st half of each of those games. Head coach Art Briles will get the credit for Baylor's success, as a a whole offense and defense program instead of it being a one player accomplishment.

I hope Gordon gets it I always go for the Defensive player or the RB to win an award over a QB.
