(a) Why don't they wait until after the championship game to vote?, (b) If they're going to vote this week, what will they know Sunday, that they don't know now?
Tua, Kyler Murray, and Dwayne Haskins are all worthy candidates, but the competition they're playing this week is hardly even; not remotely so. Texas is ranked 68th in total defense....a couple of yards per game better than Minnesota, and UTEP. OSU is playing a team ranked a very pedestrian 51st in total defense. Tua will go up against the 14th ranked defense in the country. So regardless of the outcome of this week's games, what does it really tell you?

I don’t give one eff about the Heisman since they screwed Payton Manning.
And I’m not a Payton Manning fan.
It has turned into a meaningless trophy.
Kinda like the Nobel Peace Prize

if they waited, there would be far less drama, pageantry, and thus less interest. Less interest means fewer eyes on tv and articles. Fewer eyes means less revenue. Would you voluntarily take less revenue?

I think I'm correct -- and somebody who knows better please correct me if I'm not -- in saying that the Heisman has always been presented around the first week and a half of December, and before the internet, ballots had to be mailed in. Conference championship games have only been a thing since 1992, so the real reason for all of this is that the Heisman organization (Trophy Trust nowadays, I believe) has never adjusted to this new season format. So even with internet balloting, it's still cutting it too close to accurately assess performance in championship games. They probably think that point B is basically the issue. What are they going to learn in one more game?

Bama fans are bitching about playing Georgia, when we have to play against the refs every week.

No one cares about the Heisman.
