    Heard that 10% of the votes were already cast before last week. Maybe someone got a little look at something and placed a large wager as a result?

    not that i care that much........ but the award is most outstanding, not most valuable (didn't look up definition so my wording may be off. i think the idea is correct though)

    how can they allow votes before the conference championship games? either those games are supposed to count for heisman or they aren't.......... they should either void those ballots or make everyone vote before the championship games.

    Also they should not vote before the season is over Army/Navy game is still yet to be played it is a joke that the game does not factor in. Keenan Reynolds was a legit Heisman candidate just a few years ago and his last game would not even be factored in unreal.

Without Tyler, OU is not in CFP. Without Tua, Alabama probably still makes CFP. Thus, the more valuable player is Tyler.
    Completely disagree. I hear this a lot. Easiest way to answer this question:

    What was oklahomas offense last year with a different guy? Nearly identical. Same as it is almost every year.

    What was Alabama’s offense last year with a different guy? Average. What are they now? Historically good.

    Those would almost certainly be tua votes. Coming off a better year, and a 6 td performance off auburn, best player on best team.

    Those 10% are only thing giving me hope that my tua bet is still alive.

    Watch the odds if they shift anymore dramatically before Saturday that’s your answer. Tua becomes fav again, he will win. Murray goes to -300 he’s got it. This stuff leaks

    Of course not. Or the favorite would win everytime. Things like this have a way of leaking. Nobody thought Baker was going number 1 then overnight, favorite.

    Worth pointing out:

    Tua average pass defense ranked: 58th in Country

    Murray: 85th defense average in county


    Also, tua has better QBR and more tds in quarters 1-3 and of course Murray leads in 4th quarter where he played entire 4th in almost all of his games and tua missed more than half of 4th quarters due to blow outs

    Murray should be disqualified. His team has no defense so he has to generate a lot of offense all the time. Tuvailoa doesn't play as much on offense because Bama always plays with a big lead and his plays are more conservative.

    Those are arguments in favor of Tua and I've read plenty of them all over the internet, but do they really matter for Heisman when the most important game of the year he wasn't able to perform and a backup had to bail him out to win the game?

    On the other hand, Kyler single handily won OU's game with his performance; running and passing. Case closed.

    If the voters didn't see that and weren't moved to change their votes, then that's that and I lose my bets.

    It's not a big shift but the odd did move towards Kyler on BookMaker as it's now at -188 when I got him at -164 last night. Bovada is still the same at -190 though.

    Below is from oddshark.

    No matter what the current odds are, the Heisman winner is still a toss up IMO. I just like to think simple and go with it instead of analyzing how Tua played only 1-3 quarters and his stats could be better if he played the full games and he played against better defense, etc, etc.

    The fact that Tua played lousy when it mattered the most is what I'm going by.


    TAGOVAILOA’S STUMBLE IN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME COULD BE COSTLY

    Heisman Trophy voters like to see how players perform in big games to decide who wins the coveted award, and unfortunately for Tua Tagovailoa, he had his worst performance of the season in the SEC championship game. The sophomore QB completed just 40 percent of his passes for 164 yards with one touchdown and a career-high two interceptions before leaving the game with an ankle injury with 11 minutes remaining in the game. Jalen Hurts stepped in admirably, leading two touchdown drives for a 35-28 triumph.
    Tagovailoa was the heavy favorite all season and rightfully so. He threw for the 14th-most passing yards (3,353), tied for the third-most touchdowns (37), threw just four interceptions and had the second-best quarterback rating (94.2). The Hawaii native put up all those numbers while only playing one complete game all year, against LSU. Outside of that game, he played only a handful of minutes in the fourth quarter all season. In my opinion, Tagovailoa deserves to win the Heisman Trophy, but not dominating in the SEC championship game may hurt his chances. This is the first time since Week 5 that he has been offered at plus-money and it’s still not a bad wager.

    Seen a stat earlier about snaps on offense
    Haskins snaps -1009
    Murray snaps - 807
    Tua snaps - 588
    That's a big ass difference and math obviously takes over stats if that's the case , no way Tua can match number to number with those differences .

    BookMaker took off their odds on this future.

    Bovada's Kyler odd went up from -190 to -205.

    Yeah, I was planning on betting OU in the semis, but now that Kyler has won the Heisman, it just motivates Alabama so much more and I may have to lay off it.

    I will see how the line moves by the game time and go with it then.

    with those numbers tua's numbers far outclass both its not even close not to mention he played against better defenses week to week and did it all in 3 qtrs 90% of the time. either these committee members are stupid or just like controversy

    If you take out Kyler’s 4th quarter stats his numbers are still better than Tua’s. I know this because OU did a great job marketing Kyler for Heisman and compared his stats through three quarters to Tua and kept putting it all over social media. The argument for Tua was he didn’t play in the 4th so they did a comparison.

    Tua did play against tougher defenses but without Tua Bama is probably still undefeated. They didn’t even need him to win their hardest game.

    Without Murray OU probably has five losses.

    I would.

    I feel like winning the Heisman makes you more famous than winning a national title.

    There are thousands of guys that have won a national title that you wouldn’t recognize.

    You recognize every Heisman winner.

    Athletes (of every sport) that say they would give up their individual awards in order to win a championship are lying. They just say that because it's politically correct and they want to be seen as a team player.
