Baker Mayfield should win. He's had the moments and has the best story. Walk on that was ignored by his hometown Longhorns, goes to Tech and eventually to Oklahoma and is the biggest reason for the turnaround.

I think at the time they had Garrett Gilbert, Case McCoy and David Ash, so I can see why he didn't get a look.

I've really liked what I've seen from Mayfield this year. But the story would be better had he beat the Longhorns!
Heisman's aren't given to the player with the best story though. I get that he's be fantastic and the best QB in the nation, but his 'story' is meaningless in this competition.

It's easy to say now Texas should've recruited Mayfield but no one knew he was going to be this good, revisionist history. No one is going to know how every 17/18 year old is going to do in college. Manziel and RG3 were 4*s so certainly the criticism for Texas not recruiting them is valid. If he hadn't had to walk on at two schools he might not've worked as hard and developed like he did.

RG3 was recruited by Texas just not as a QB. Mack wanted him to play DB. Manziel nearly ended up at Oregon and Mayfield lost his job to Davis Webb at TTech. College football is funny.
Back on the Heisman talk, I think McCaffery and Watson made serious statements tonight. Henry was his usual self.

Nope not today.
Mayfield might be hurt by not playing this week. Henry, Watson and McCaffrey all played at a high level today/tonight

McCaffrey should win. You break a Barry Sanders yardage record on an 11-2 Rose Bowl bound team, and you ought to be the winner unless there's one of these 4000+ yards of total offense 40+ TD super quarterbacks (Mariota, Newton, Tebow, etc.), which wasn't the case this year.

Thank you. Uncle Gary will say that was the best performance of all time but that was very anemic. He must have got a lot of junk yards in the 4th. I don't know I turned it off but especially in the first half he did nothing. Florida gave up at some point because when they were trying he did very little.

yup, after this past weekend, I'd say give it to McCaffrey.
And during his acceptance speech, he should thank Justin Wilcox for helping him pad his stats at the Pac-12 championship game.

If Henry wins, he should give five miniature Heisman trophies to his Offensive Line. That thing could make me look good

'Uncle Gary' is hated by Alabama fans, me included, and that's because he's an idiot. More than 5 times he would reference to us as Florida, on the punt return where Florida caught it and then fumbled, Gary kept saying that he 'did well' despite not mentioning the fumble, and my god every time Bama doesn't gain a yard, he talks about our inefficiency at the line of scrimmage. Trust me, Gary is not part of the Bama fandom.
After this past weekend I still think Henry wins it. You guys say our offensive line is great, however it's really not anything special. Cam has had an awful year, and outside of Kelly, the rest have been a whole bunch of 'eh'.
Christian no doubt had a fantastic year, and surpassing a record set by Barry Sanders is impressive, but I would argue so is (was) Hershel's record that Henry broke. Henry, as it stands, is having the 25th best season a RB has ever had (based purely on yards alone), sits at 23 Touchdowns, averages almost 6 yards a carry, in a conference that consistently puts out Pro Bowlers.
Either one could win it. I don't think Baker will be up there not Watson. No clear cut favorite honestly, but I do think it's Henry's.

nah SEC GAWD's.
Watson/Mccaffery/Mayfield should be final 3. In what order I do not know.
