Heisman poll

[Southpaw]

Who is it gonna be?

3 finalists have been nominated?

A few really worthy players have been left out. BTW. I dislike these awards, but they are part of the landscape.

I voted M M. IMNSHO Bryce Petty, Baylor QB, is deserving of being at least a finalist.

Note to Mods.

Please move this thread to the College forum. I goofed.

MM in a landslide

I voted for Melvin Gordon.

I voted for Melvin Gordon.

Have a tough time making an argument for him, based on the fact that the Wisconsin system allows for every running back that they plug in to have glaring stats. i.e. Montee Ball, James White, John Clay, P J Hill, etc.

11 1000+ yds RBs since 2005. 11 in 9 seasons. People harp on system QBs, but not on system RBs.

Those teams are OLs and 40+ carries/game.

Yeah I guess I'm all wound up in the big season he had. I wouldn't mind seeing him in 49ers uni next season.

"It seems like it's a lock for Mariota." - @TMatich Is Mariota a lock to win the Heisman?

Here's a good read on Marcus Mariota and the case why he should be the heisman trophy winner.

For the record — because there are always skeptics whose first response to obvious success is he didn’t play nobody! — Mariota has played as many games against currently ranked teams (five)4 as anyone on that chart, and as many teams with winning records (seven) as anyone up there except Alabama’s Blake Sims, who faced eight.
