Who should be the Heisman front runner be?

[nddulac]

It's Mayfield/Barkley right now with Love moving up sharply as a dark horse with potential.

I agree. Bryce Love has earn a spot in the conversation.

Bryce Love is my homer pick for runner-up, because that is what Stanford does. He has 1088 rushing yards on 98 carries through 5 games.

He definitely is the runner up for the Heisman in the Pac 12.

Mayfield
Barkley
Grier

But truth is..... nobody GAS about that award anymore TBH.

I am finding it really hard to justify Saquon over Mayfield in a world where Melvin lost to Mariota.

Melvin averaged about the same yards from scrimmage per game with almost 2 YPC more against a (for the moment) better schedule with a worse supporting cast. And Mayfield is putting up stats that are very similar, if not superior, to Mariota.

Baker just had an awesome week where he attempted 0 passes for 0 yards and 0 interceptions....

Yet still managed to piss some people off

It's Saquon Barkley and everyone else at this point. That can change, but he is way out in front at the first turn

Agree 100%

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Gotta go with Barkley at the moment but Mayfield is nipping at his heels. Everyone else is in a distant third.

Barkley takes a kickoff to the house and then throws for a TD on top of his "usual" gotta be the front runner right now

I honestly thought they didn't give one out last year? Who is this Lemar Jackson you speak of?

Always impressive for a college QB.

True dat.
Tanner Lee will throw at least one pick on the bye week.
Just hoping it isn’t a pick-6 that costs Nebraska the game.

Best player in college football right now is Saquon Barkley. So I voted him. But Heisman voters love QB's, so Mayfield could easily win it too. It is a toss up between those two.

 

[SteelersPride]

both mayfield and barkley are playing so good, and are so important to their teams, jackson hasnt played anyone good, and when he did, he lost

 

[thunderc]

Best player in the country is Mayfield, but he is also one of the biggest knuckleheads in the country and it will cost him.

can anyone explain why Barkley is ahead of Love

Love 11.1 yards per carry 1088 yards on 98 carries 8 TD
Barkley 6.7 yards per carry 576 yards on 86 carries 4 TD

I get that Barkley has way more receiving yards but does it make up 500 yards of rushing? and 4 TD?
386 yards receiving for Barkley with 2 TD vs 5 yards for Love and 0 TD.

i just dont really get it.

It has a lot to do with timezones.

Seems like a lot of it has to do with where, or if, their team is ranked every year as well. Don't necessarily agree with it, but always seem to be a factor.

Heisman voters like to see their candidates teams in contention for something so their contributions are "meaningful"
