2019 Heisman Finalists: Burrow/Fields/Hurts/Young

This award should go to the most valuable player not just based on inflated stats. You could put Case McCoy in Riley’s offense and he could put up great numbers.

 

Burrows will be a star at the next level, we have already seen how Riley’s system QBs do in the pros. I know it’s just about college but it should go to the best player and Hurts isn’t anywhere near the QB Burrows is.

Of the 4 finalists, 

- 1 ex Ohio State QB

- 1 current Ohio State QB 

- 1 current Ohio State DL

 

3 QBs who aren't with the school that originally signed them.

2 QBs in the playoffs while their old school sits at home.  1 other in the playoffs while their old school has a transfer.

Burrows will(should ) win.  I don't think it's that close.

I suspect Young may get a few votes from  people trying to make a point about defensive players, but I can't see too many people voting for Hurts or Fields over the corn dog. Should be a route, and deservedly so. Dude has been lights out this year.

I understand why Young was invited. But really, why was he invited? The Heisman won’t go to a defensive player again in my opinion.

They always invite at least 3.  Anyone after that is so many points behind within a margin gets invited as well.

4. How are the finalists determined?

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of the Heisman process. You will often hear media or fans complain that a certain player was snubbed by not being invited to the Heisman ceremony. But the finalists are not determined arbitrarily. Starting from the understanding that there will always be a minimum of three finalists, whether or not more will be invited is determined by how close the fourth-place finisher’s point total is to that of the third place finisher’s, how close the fifth-place finisher’s is to that of the fourth-place finisher’s and so on.

In the 2008 Heisman vote, for instance, Florida’s Tim Tebow finished third with 1,575 points. The fourth-place finisher, Graham Harrell of Texas Tech, totaled 213 points. Because of the huge gap between those totals, Harrell was not invited to the ceremony, which featured just three finalists. In 2010, Kellen Moore’s fourth place finish of 635 points brought him much closer to LaMichael James’ third-place finish of 916, so Moore was included as one of the four finalists. The fifth-place finisher in 2010, Justin Blackmon of Oklahoma State, had just 105 points. There was a clear demarcation of support between him and Moore, so the finalists were capped at four.

In other words, the closeness of the point totals determines the final number of finalists. Where major gaps exist, that’s where you get a cutoff.
