I don't really know who to pick as my favorite. It's hard to repeat as Heisman winner, so that makes me not want to pick JFF. If Derrick Thomas couldn't win the Heisman with 27 sacks, no defensive player should in it without 30. That makes me want to not pick Clowney. Bridgewater is a good choice, but the competition he plays against could hurt him.

The Bama in me wants to say AJ, and while I think he'll get to New York, I just don't know if he can win it. His only chance would be having a Heisman moment, and throwing for over 3000 yards after the SECCG and having a TD:INT ratio that is similar, or better, to his 10:1 last year. Plus he'd have to be 13-0. That said, I just don't think he'll have the numbers to win the Heisman.

Then you have RBs. DAT is a potential candidate, but will he get enough total touches to put up the numbers needed? Then you have Gurley, who is a serious contender, but I gotta wonder how many carries he'll share with Marshall, plus Murray is going to get to sling it around.

I don't think Yeldon will get it either. I see him having around 235 rushes, plus however many catches, but that won't be enough to get him to New York.

Marqise Lee is an excellent choice, to me. He has the ability to put up insane numbers with a first year QB. So because he's the only one that I can think of who doesn't have any major thing going against him, my favorite for the Heisman is Marqise Lee.
