I've admired Cooper with his scary speed for his career. Best at his position. But:

Mariota wins because the award is decided before the playoffs, and I think Oregon rolls over the Pac.

Jameis is out. This: "but of course him being a dumbass will be looked as adversity and not poor character." is bullshite, even if they win another NC. He's damaged beyond repair.

Gurley maybe should win it, but won't because Mariota will and because an SECw team will beat the SECe team badly in the SECCG.

As much as I'd like to see Kenny Hill win it, he has 2 more years and so loses any sympathy-vote. He doesn't have the SportsCenter moments of JFF, and rightly or wrongly voters will pay attention to that. 2015 is his year.

Ameer Abdullah - umm... you got me. Gotta look this one up.

Cooper needs to continue his lights-out performances (tough, with the upcoming schedule) AND for Oregon to lose a game or two and/or Mariota to have a bad game or two.

Agree with this. I just don't have any faith in the media's love affair with Jameis.

Anyways, Mariota has been great so Oregon would definitely have to drop one or two. However they almost lost to Wash. St. on Saturday so it's not set in stone he runs over the PAC.

I'll take that bet. They lose before it is all said and done.

Way too early to speculate but

I think it's his to lose. But they usually stub their toe along the way with a dream killer game. He seems like a great kid and appears to be the media darling. At least it would restore the "integrity" component.

Let's hope so.

Needs to stop headbutting.

Kenny Hill

I like the kid so far. Aggie QB fatigue may prevent, and he's a Soph (haven't we realized the younguns can't handle fame). IF undefeated or 1 loss and amazing numbers, maybe a good chance.
