OU's QB Gabriel for Heisman? This is why the Heisman is becoming a joke

He has one great game and, voila!, already ranked #3 in the so-called, Heisman Race? He's come outta nowhere.
32

It’s one guys opinion, man.
Those aren’t official rankings.

It's been a joke since Charles Woodson won the Heisman over Peyton Manning.

He hasn’t had one great game. He’s been solid all year and was great in Oklahoma’s first big test of the season. He proved himself therefor he is getting recognition. He’s been better than Williams as far as I’m concerned
Who has Bowers performed well against that’s comparable to Texas?

Heisman has been a joke for awhile, but the media is making its steadily worse. Similar polls had Shadeur Sanders and Travis Hunter tied for near favorites after a week 1 win over what is now seen as a pretty bad TCU team.

Who has Caleb Williams beat thus far? How about Brock Bowers?
Like it or not, “Heisman moment” is a big criterion for some voters, and Gabriel had a pretty huge day and was the reason (amongst others) his team beat formerly top 5 and undefeated rival in a trophy game.
Gabriel definitely deserves to be considered. More than Ewers ever did, anyway

Buddy- they haven't awarded the Heisman yet.

Good grief, it was a great day when Hummer left the AJC, but he's still cropping up like a bad penny.

At least he doesn’t make people wince from how hideous he is like Georgia’s QB

Micheal Penix has been arguably the best QB in college football for the past 5 years. The only reason he hasn't gotten the Heisman Hype before now is because he was playing for IU and UW.
He should be the far and away frontrunner this year, barring anything hugely unexpected.

Oh.....I see who is at #4 and suddenly this nonsensical post makes sense.

The Heisman isn’t the MVP of college football. It’s the player with the most important story of the football season.
It’s a media award. Literally voted on by mostly people in the media. The media tells the stories of the football season.
If you stop looking at it as the best player award, it makes a lot more sense.

my favorite part about Chris is that he doesn't have a heisman vote, but he received your click

Didn’t come out of no where he had like 10-12 best heisman odds last week ….. he’s got some of the best stats out there …. And he showed out in the biggest game of the year against some who said was the team with this best win this year ….. now OU has the best win.

Another who has not kept up with DG. This kid is good. But he needed a marque game to get the national press to jump on the bandwagon. That happened Sat.

Michael Penix Jr. - 1,999 Passings Yards, 16Tds / 2 Ints; 9 Rushing Yards, 0 TDs
Dillon Gabriel - 1,878 Passings Yards, 16TDs / 2 Ints; 208 Rushing Yards, 5 TDs
Brock Bowers - 545 Receiving Yards, 4TDs, 7 Rushing Yards, 1TD
Jordan Travis - 1,198 Passing Yards, 12TDs, 1 Int; 119 Rushing Yards, 2 TDs
Seems pretty reasonable to have Gabriel in it right now.

Look our defense is putrid. Our team as a whole isn’t top tier but Jayden deserves at least an invite to New York. The kid is special.

Most of your threads are a joke. If I was you, I would take a break on starting threads, or at least think before starting a thread.

Fans reposting useless mid-season power rankings is akin to feeding the animals at the park. Everyone knows it encourages bad habits, yet ppl still feel compelled to do it for unknown reasons.
