Why is Te'o in everyone's heisman talk? His stats aren't anything crazy.

I'd say Johnny Football should win it. But Kenjon Barner would be in the discussion if he played the full 4 quarters of all the games.

Besides int's, Shazier's are better.

Six interceptions for a LB is pretty good. My favorite player is by far Johnny Football but I don't think he has a shot to win because he hasn't played great throughout the whole year. I could be wrong though.

This is the worst year for the Heisman I can remember

Or at least showed up against stanford

Barner, Klein, and Manziel in some order. I'd vote Barner just because I love Oregon, but I'm thinking Klein probably gets the nod.

I don't get the Te'o hype either...I guess it's just because ND is #1 and no one else on that team is remotely plausible, but would definitely be a weird choice.

Also, Tajh Boyd should get some hype if Clemson can beat SCAR this week. 3367 yards, 33 TD, 68% completion, 9.5 YPA, 172.7 passer rating and throw in another 466 yards and 8 TD on the ground. Ya, I know, ACC competition and his receivers are baller, but still.

Johnny Football should be the winner and it isn't even close. Over 3,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing is a great year. The only reason he may not get it is just because he is a freshman. I hate the argument that freshman shouldn't win. If USC was better I would maybe say Marquis Lee, but even then I would probably still choose Manziel.

@TAMUWolverine- I'm not sure if you have been keeping track of the Heisman race because just about every analyst has Te'o over Manziel as well, which is why I put him as my choice right now. Te'o has played more consistent that Manziel throughout the entire season but Manziel is my favorite player by far. Manziel has not played heisman type games against LSU, Florida, or Ole Miss. He didn't play horrible but not heisman quality games.

@TAMUWolverine- Also, the Heisman is usually going to to go to the candidate on the better team. Last time I checked, ND was undefeated while A&M has two losses. I definitely like Manziel as a player a lot more than Te'o but there's a lot that goes into the Heisman trophy. Do I think there's a chance Manziel could win it? Sure, but chances are much greater for someone else looking at Heisman history.

It would be disrespectful to Charles Woodson if Te'o won the Heisman, imo.

Te'o is not on Woodson's level in any way, shape, or form.
