Not shocked at all. If JFF doesn't win it's bullshite. Klein is overrated and Te'o doesn't deserve it.

Is Ty Detmer's jaw wired shut?

He was talking like a really bad ventriloquist.

Face the facts, Te'o will win. Three reasons:

1. Only one on an undefeated team
2. Notre Dame
3. Only threat is a freshman

GO JOHNNY FOOTBALL

I boycott all Heisman winners with apostrophes in their names, and that includes Davy O'Brien

I think Manziel will, but obviously want Te'o for biased reasons. I really don't think Manziel would be "screwed" if he doesn't win it, though. Look at his performances against the top teams he's played. Bama was great. However, he was very mediocre against LSU and Florida, and a large portion of his "incredible" stats were put up against the likes of SMU, Sam Houston State, etc.

The oddsmakers know more than you and I. There is a reason you cannot bet on Manziel anymore, but you can still place bets on Klein and Te'o.

No idea why he got an invite.

If you invite him, you should also invite Tahj Boyd, AJ McCarron, Marquise Lee and about five other guys. There isn't anything special about Klien.

Yeah and Te'o really stood out against those monster teams ND had to beat to go 12-0.

Wow, I would have voted McCarron over Teo and Klein. Too much SEC I guess.

Case Keenum had 51 TDs, 48 TDs, and 51 TDs over the course of 3 seasons, but to my knowledge was never a finalist.

There are countless examples of guys with great stats who didn't get invited to NY.

Normally, you have to be on an undefeated team, or a team that was undefeated for most of the year (so that coverage of your team is there from start to finish), or you need spectacular performances in your biggest games.

Yea, look at the school he played at. The other two guys I included in my comparison are on teams that finished with 10+ wins and are ranked 7 or higher. Houston is a mid major.
