I have a feeling it’ll be Hunter and he may deserve it, but I’d prefer any of the other 3. Nothing against Hunter, but Deion just isn’t my thing - never was. I’m more of an “act like you’ve been there before” hand the ball to the ref kind of guy, and his act just never appealed to me. He gets a Heisman winner and he gets to be that much more obnoxious, gets other characters going to Colorado, etc. I kinda liked when he was just a media guy and I could choose whether to deal with his persona or not. Now it’s just out there and making news, unavoidable if you’re a college football fan. Nope, no thanks.

Hunter shouldnt be punished because of Deion. If anything it makes it even worse to have him and not even make the conference championship in a year that the Big 12 is really down and having Hunter. I do agree that Deion is often times very disingenuous and full of it, but that shouldnt be held against Hunter.
Sheduer is the one thats like a Caleb 2.0 who holds the ball to long and has a cheat code of just throwing the ball Hunters way and let him go get it. I'm glad hes not a finalist
@coolstanley said:
The 4 Heisman finalists announced:
Dillon Gabriel - BIG TEN
Ashton Jeanty - Mountain West
Travis Hunter - BIG 12
Cam Ward - ACC
I'd give it Jeanty
Me too. He has had an historic year. He has a shot at breaking Barry Sanders rushing record. And led his team to a first round bye in the playoffs.
Barry did it in 11 games in a better conference. Jenty has had 13 games in a bad conference and still is well short of Sanders
Theyve had the same number of attempts and Barrys numbers are all better
Barry played 12 games in 88. If Jeanty has more yards, then it will go down as the all time single season rushing record.
Barry played 11. Bowl games were not counted back then. Jenty has already played 13 and has a 14th coming. Barry played in what was a power conference at the time, Jenty plays in the G5
The record is Barrys and its not particularly close

Bama was 9-3. As I said im fine with Bama being left out, just not when SMU and Indiana are are in. South Carolina finishes 6th in the SEC and beat the ACC champion last week. Does strength of schedule matter or not?
One of Bama's wins was FCS Mercer. Doesn't count. So 8 it is.
Strength of schedule matters - if you win. If Eastern Washington played Georgia 12 times and went 0-12, should they get in because of a murderous strength of schedule? No?
Again, Bama won 8 games. Winning 8 games isn't enough to get into the playoff.
SMU ran the table in their conference. Indiana won 10 games (ignoring their FCS win). SMU won 10, ignoring THEIR FCS win.
Alabama would have a case if they'd won more. They didn't.

You could have two naval carrier groups maybe even three side by side the strength of schedule is so far apart. Bama had Georgia, LSU, Tennessee just to name a few.
Michigan played Arkansas State and Fresno State.
Ohio State played Akron, Western Michigan. Marshall.
SMU played Houston Christian, Nevada and avoided every top ACC team until Clemson which they lost to who lost to South Carolina.
Indiana played Florida International, Western Illinois, Charlotte.
Every team builds in wins, its not even close to the Bama strength of schedule over Indiana and SMU
If the committee is only going to care about record the scheduling is going to get ugly. Hopefully the new committee next year will treat it differently and we wont have so many people on it that never watch football
Alabama just isn't very good this season and that has been the trend in the two since Saban left. More to the point, they have been horribly inconsistent. Perhaps it is that the recruiting power of Alabama was tied to Nick Saban and not the program because they have lost some talent to the transfer portal. When the individual players begin to notice that their opportunity is better elsewhere that is a bad sign for the school. Such is the case with Alabama.
You are what your record says you are. Alabama's record says they are a very competent team that can play good teams very tough but also lose to very incompetent teams by 21 points. That simply cannot be ignored no matter how hard you try. Does the committee really want one of their spotlight games to be a showing of the incompetent Alabama?? I don't think they do and I don't think the team or fans want that either.
It really is better for the Alabama program going forward to be in a New Year's Eve game against a weaker opponent. Their supporters like @Basebal21 and @Bullsitter should hope that the 'Tide prevails in that game, an embarrassing loss to Michigan would be bad for the program.

Bama did fine in recruiting, better than OSU.

We even signed the 3rd best player in Ohio. Perhaps his opportunity is better at Bama than OSU...

Bama had Georgia, LSU, Tennessee just to name a few.
Michigan played Arkansas State and Fresno State.
Ohio State played Akron, Western Michigan. Marshall.
I like this. It’s a really smart way to look at things. So if I want to detract from one teams schedule I pick their 3 weakest opponents and if I want to bolster one teams schedule I pick their 3 strongest opponents.
Bama played Western KY, South Florida, and Mercer.
OSU played Oregon, Penn State, and Indiana.
These schedules are so different you could start from one traveling in a spacecraft at near the speed of light and not reach the other in a human lifetime. That’s a much larger distance than 2 or even 3 carrier groups and makes my point because why would anyone use such a weird hyperbolic example if their point wasn’t already established.
Bama played Western KY, South Florida, and Mercer.

You left one team out, don't you remember........I do....
I have to assume you're referring to Wisconsin. If the model was 4 teams I might had had to consider them, but there may be a better candidate for 4th weakest oppo.
It's a pretty weak narrative that I care about anyone dissing Badger football. You guys are doing great though. I'm absolutely wrecked.
Sounds like we're going to get to find out whether Belichick can coach at the college level or not. Now, I know someone who knows he can't, but there's a possibility that Bill applies technique selectively. Guess we will see.

Bama is very good just not by their standards. There are no juggernauts this year though and probably wont be any going forward in the future. Milroe is a problem for Bama but he will be gone.
The B!G is simply not a good conference. Theres OSU who cant even beat a bad Michigan team, Oregon who has to out score people and PSU who Franklin cant beat ranked teams. Illinois is okay and it gets very bad very fast after that.
The simple fact is that yes a lot of the best teams are in one conference and play each other. Indiana and SMU had the records they had because of their joke of a schedule. SMU didnt have to play Miami and when they played Clemson they lost. They lost to BYU as well. Indiana had 1 real game against OSU and they didnt belong on the same field as them. ND couldnt even beat NIU at home and their best win by far was in week one.
Scheduling played a massive role in this playoffs and the committee just completely ignored it

Hes going to be so bad there if he tries to coach anything like he did with the Pats. Players will just transfer and he wont get any top recruits.

You could have two naval carrier groups maybe even three side by side the strength of schedule is so far apart. Bama had Georgia, LSU, Tennessee just to name a few.
And their other games were an FCS school and teams that averaged 5.5 losses. I'm not arguing other schools didn't have easier schedules. They did. But Bama lost to bad teams and got rolled by one of them. Indiana and SMU didn't.

Other teams played tougher schedules but still had some mediocre losses which cost them in the eyes of the committee. Which. Can you blame them. Their hands are kind of tied.
But this speaks to why media companies value SEC fans as worth 6 Pennie’s to the dime with respect to B1G fans.

Playing in the elements is a part of games, but it is removed during the most important games. Good teams shouldn't be affected by the weather or playing on the road.
I know the argument is to have perfect, beautiful, sunny weather for the biggest games, but that never matters for the games that get teams to that point.
