Some pretty mask off racism in this one
Yikes
Man I hope Pedo State runs the score up on those mouthy ****s.
Their fans have me feeling that way over this Heisman stuff. I almost always root for the underdog.
The hate I have to have for a program to make me root for ****ing Penn State? I mean, Jesus, people. You're literally driving me to root for the worst people on earth.

Everyone will forget the name of Boise’s RB pretty quickly. Or he’ll kill it in the NFL and be remembered for his NFL team and not boise
In a couple years from now, some true die hards will mayyybe say “Boise had that good RB a few years ago, I think ‘X player’ is kinda like that guy. You remember what his name was?”
Lol

Jeanty is an all time great college RB. Any other year he wins the Heisman. Just bad luck he was competing against a player that is doing things we have literally never seen. Hunter is 1 of 1.
Jeanty is a great college RB who I think will be excellent in the NFL.
No reason to tear him down. Travis stands alone. Modern football hasn't seen someone like him before and it's highly doubtful that we'd ever see this again.
I keep thinking of some of the old records in baseball. Travis would be like an MLB pitcher taking the hill every third day and throwing a complete game every start. It just doesn't happen anymore.
I’m not tearing anything down, he’s a great player.
That’s just how these things work
SNL put it best: Who was Hillary’s VP? In a year, we’ll ask ourselves, who is Tim Walz? Who was Romney’s VP?
That’s showbiz. Losers disappear

That Heisman voter retweeted this….
1st in receptions, 3rd in yards and 1st in touchdowns. Yeah. Somehow not in the top 2 or 3 WRs in the Big 12.
Also, that's on top of being the Big 12 DPOY.
Why is it so hard for some people to acknowledge the obvious?

Insanity
And frankly it is a moving of goalposts for the turn around people predicted at CU
I was arguing with someone on Reddit about this last night, and it spurned my post in the haters thread.
Hunter won an award for best WR and best defensive player. And the response to that was 'everyone knows he didn't deserve it'.
So I asked what stats would someone look at to be considered the best at CB or WR, and it was crickets.
It is weird to me that people look at Hunters numbers and think 'pretty good' and not marvel that there is an elite player who plays every snap of a football game.
Strip him of his vote
We were also ranked 16th when we played KU and got dropped to 23, which is more than many other programs dropped after losing (Ole Miss, Bama, etc). People are just out there talking nonsense.
There is an argument to be made for Jeanty being ranked #1 (not a correct one). But to leave Hunter completely off the ballot lacks awareness about who’s who in college football.
I will never understand why media folks are given a vote in the Heisman or why an AP poll exists in the first place. You’re telling me the Alabama equivalent of Brian Howell knows **** all about any team outside of the SEC? No shot.
Heisman should be former Heisman winners and current coaches. Even then I think current coaches is a stretch because they don’t have time to watch other teams outside of film review.
AP poll shouldn’t exist period.

And some 80+ year old who won the Heisman 60 years ago does?
I do think that media members in general probably have the best overall overview of the sport out of the relevant groups (players, coaches, journalists). Now the question which members you give a vote to is certainly debateable. I also think there's a place for the AP and Coaches poll, but I don't think they should be released until Week 6 or 7 (roughly the halfway point of the season) as the current system reinforces the point I keep making about the big name programs getting the benefit of the doubt. Everyone should start at zero as, especially in this day and age with the portal creating an unprecedented level of player turnover from season to season, we just don't know **** about most teams before the season and there's a heavy bias towards teams that were successful the previous season and it takes a while for things to reset and regress to the mean both for teams doing better than expected but also for teams doing worse than anticipated. I realise that the ultimately relevant ranking is the one by the CFP committee, but the AP poll helps shape perception and the narrative. But then I also realise that the US sports media has a fetish with rankings (probably also because it's a cheap and easy way to create engagement with your content, especially if you throw some rage bait).
