I didn't mean to attach a file.

I wonder how much Love's injury would affect him. Even if he plays, will he be 100%?

Not even sure why Minkah is listed, he's a defender and even though he is very versatile he doesn't return kicks or punts so he has no chance.

And no love for Damien Harris. I guess 9.2 yards per carry doesn't impress because he doesn't get 25 carries a game.

Lamar Jackson won't win because of how bad the team is
Baker Mayfield really hurt his chances with that loss

I think Barkley and Love are the two best right now but we could see a QB on a top team slide in there depending how the back half of the season goes

I don't think Mayfield's chances were affected by ISU loss. He went 24/33, 306 passing yards, and 2 TDs. He also had 57 yards rushing and a rushing TD.

He was not the reason for that loss.

Perception though. If he wins out and ups his numbers, he'll be talked about, but right now I have a hard time seeing him win it. He is just outside of the top 10 in a few passing categories.

Lamar Jackson won with 4 losses, 2 of them being the final two weeks of the season vs Houston and Kentucky.

Barkley and Love are 1 and 1A right now. Don't think anybody else is particularly close.

I think the battle for the Heisman will be in the Big12 when it's all said and done.
Mayfield, Grier and Rudolph all have to play down the stretch while the RBs will likely fade away.

Gonna be cool seeing 3 Big12 QB's sitting at the ceremony.


Also, JT Barrett.. lulz, no.

I think if Love's injury is not too bad and he breaks Barry Sanders' record (or is a game away from breaking it), he gets it. However, if Barkley looks good vs Michigan, MSU, and Wisconsin (CCG), he could win. But I expect him to fall off when he struggles vs those teams.

If Stanford runs the table, the rest of the way out, Love is the winner.

If not, then the winner of the duel on Nov 4...between Rudolph and Mayfield will
gain a big advantage.

Unless you consider karma a reason, I think he had that one coming.
