How Heisman voting works- just an FYI. Jayden is in good shape.

I'm just glad there is no candidate from Bama. The committee would simply disregard the votes and appoint the bama candidate the winner.

where does the fan vote come from?

The Athletic did a straw poll of actual Heisman voters last week before the conference championship games.

Jayden and Nix had the same amount of first place votes (16 each), but Nix had the most points because Nix had twice as many 2nd place votes as Jayden (10 to 5) and Jayden had twice as many 3rd place votes as Nix (10 to 5).

This makes me believe there are West Coast voters who will put Penix and Nix 1st and 2nd, and will place Jayden at 3rd. Hopefully, this is a small percentage of the voters.

I think after the games last weekend Jayden will get more first place votes than anyone else and it should be enough to overcome the ballots that have him at 3rd.

Has there ever been a Heisman winner that did not have the most 1st place votes ?

Jayden will at worse get some 2nd place votes worth 2 points each on some ballots.

Jayden SHOULD at worst get 2nd place votes. But the west coast voters are braindead and are going to put him 3rd on theirs or outright leave him off with intent to help Penix and Nix. Its so stupid

Acting like you’re some expert telling us how it works & then you throw out this BS

As others have said, Joe Burrow, the most unanimous winner in Heisman history, wasn't in the top 3 of some ballots.

Why do people in the media, most of which have never played CFB, have more of a say who wins this award than the actual players who have won it in the past?
