Heisman Watch

The list is full of overhyped players who will fade as the season progresses. Mensah and Toney have staying power.

I just don’t see how a QB with more TDs than incompletions on a top 5 team isn’t the heisman favorite right now.

I think America has just been sleeping on Miami through the first 4 games. If Mensah puts up a great performance vs Clemson, he will shoot to the top of the Heisman race.

No he won’t. Heisman is just as much about the buzz than anything else, and as good as he is, he’s not generating any buzz, and the ACC is just not valued. He keeps putting up big numbers and beats Notre Dame on the road, then we can talk.

Smith is the default favorite, but Kamario Taylor has all the buzz and hype right now, and rightfully so. He will shoot up the boards.

Anyone who thinks Malachi has a remote chance of winning the Heisman is delusional. Not to say it’s not deserving, but it won’t happen.

Last week Chambliss was cooking. Smiff going to fall down the list as OSU catches more Ls.

And this may sound crazy but if Toney has another big game I think Smiff will drop. Right now it looks like JS is clearly the best WR in cfb. When Toney has another 200 yd plus 3 TD game people will say “oh yeah, there is another WR just as good, except he also returns kicks and is 2 yrs younger.” It’s not going to put Toney near the top of the Heisman race but Mensah will benefit from the WR comparison.

Also Mensah has the biggest opportunity remaining of any player on the list to distance himself- in a few weeks Miami plays ND at their house. ND will be ranked 1 or 2. When Mensah leads UM to the W, he locks down the Heisman.
