re: Is JD being penalized?

It's BS. Lamar Jackson finished with 9 wins and RG3 finished with 9 wins before the heisman ceremony. Remember Tebow and those losses?

It's all about popularity. Ewers has had one great game, against Bama, and still like top 3 or 4. Nix is like 600 yards and 4-5 TDs off Daniels, but his team is undefeated.

I'll say this, if we win the West, it'll be because of him, and he's at the very least sitting in that front row as a finalist. Right now he has 2002 yards and 19 TDs. If we finish 10-3 (loss to UGA SECCG) and he averages just 300 yards (averaging 400.4) and 2.5 TDs (averaging 3.8) over the next 8 games, that would give him 4400 total yards and 39 TDs. Last year he averaged 280 yards and had 19 total TDs over the last 8 games. That included 2 performances with only around 200 total yards and a 96 yard performance (he missed 2 halves of games during that span).

However I think he won't go under 350 total yards and 3 total TDs in any game but maybe Goergia St, going forward. They'll probably let him play a half.
