    At this point, Caleb Williams is the odds on favorite. CJ Stroud also deserves to be in the conversation and I wouldn't even consider Duggan and Bennett to be serious contenders as it is a 2 dog race at this point. But stranger things have happened.

    In my opinion, Duggan is a tough SOB and is a big reason for TCUs success. But a vote for Duggan it is a totally emotional vote and not based on being the most outstanding college FB player.

    Same for Bennett. He wasn't even the best player or even QB in the SEC and shouldn't be a finalist. Maybe this is a homer comment, but Hendon Hookers numbers, leadership, and how he changed the trajectory for the Vols is more impressive than anything Bennett has done this year. Hooker had more "Heisman" moments and he was the SEC offensive player of the year but was snubbed by Heisman voters. I'm not saying Hooker should win the Heisman but he deserves to be a finalist more than Bennet or Duggan.

    Being honest this is a trophy I have always hated. It's more a popularity contest. I have seen Heisman winners not even get drafted. How can You be considered the best college player, and not get drafted???

    I'm biased as a USC fan; I want Caleb Williams to win it.

    I might have agreed until he decided to paint f*ck Utah on his fingernails. Classy move.

    Maybe, but he sure had an exciting season bringing TCU back
    From multiple games. Isn't the heisman given to the best COLLEGE
    Player for this year? I am a Pitt man, I have no dog in the fight.

    I thought Tennessee's Jalin Hyatt should have been there instead of Stetson Bennett

    I hate how the Heisman always goes to offensive skill position players. Last year I think Will Anderson was the best player in college football by a mile and he never had a shot. He’s been great again this year, but has had a bit less of an impact.

    Should have a defense Heisman and shape the statue with the iconic photo of Jalen Carter holding up LSU QB Jayden Daniels on his sack celebration

    Hooker, Corum, Hyatt all should have been there ahead of stetson Bennett. Hell, Hooker was not only 1st team all SEC QB ahead of Bennett but he was also the SEC offensive player of the year. F#$% the Heisman and their lame ass voters.

    I'm just playing with You. Like I said Heisman trophy has been a joke for Me ever since I seen someone win without even being Drafted.....but apparently it means something to the voters. :shrug:

    Duggan finished a very respectable 2nd in Heisman voting.
