Just to start a topic not about how Alabama "isn't a dynasty" (which they're clearly turning into) or an A&M fan saying LSU is going to go 500. So lets do this.

1. Manziel- I personally think he'll dip a tad with game film on him and losing what he does on his line, but you can't argue that the kids a baller.

2. McCarron- Extremely efficient and plays his best on the big stage.

3. Yeldon- Basically whatever back is behind Saban's line will be in the Heisman talk.

4. Clowney- Bar none the best player in the league IMHO, but defensive players just don't get the love.

5. Todd Gurley- I have trouble putting him here because of Marshall but if he takes over the backfield he could be in for a monster year.

What say you?

I'm gonna say that the Bama/A&M game being played at the beginning of the season is going to remove either McCarron or JFF from consideration early on.

One will have a bad game that day, and that is all it seems to take.

I agree with this, but Clowney may be the one to break that. Glad it wasn't Teo, Manziel deserved it. But I don't see a better player than Clowney next year right now. That could easily change, because good players can come from anywhere, but for right now Clowney is my favorite.

Honestly, if Hill dominants the carries like he did from the USCe game on(except the Clemson game, WTF) he could be a darkhorse. Most gifted RB ive seen at LSU in a long long time.

if mariotta has a good year look for him to probably get in the running. braxton miller will be back as well. think a wr from the big 12 maybe will come up as well?

If Aaron Murray puts up similar to better stats as this year, he'll be in New York.

I'm literally hard at the thought of Yeldon as starting RB after another offseason in the S&C program.

Definitely would love to see Clowney win it. His hit in the bowl game will be played at the ceremony, that's for sure.

Some fricker that we've never heard of will come out of nowhere and win it.

1. Manziel

2. McCarron

3. Murray

4. Gurley

5. Yeldon

Clowney has zero chance. The Heisman's an offensive award.

Not being biased, but many of my Bama friends as well as I see no way that McCarron can even compete in the same freaking galaxy for a Heisman going against players like JFF and Clowney. I'm not dissing the guy, McCarron gets the job done. He does what is needed, but he doesn't completely change the game when he steps on the field. Bama is much better off pushing a RB rather than McCarron.

Move Yeldon to number 1, take off McCarron, and put Jeremy Hill at number 5.
