re: Bovada Las Vegas now has Henry as Heisman favorite

I don't see why anyone is surprised by this. It's become a "best player on best team award." Alabama is now considered the "best team" and Henry is considered their "best player". Ask Mark Ingram. He wasn't even the best player at his position the year he won the award. Yet, Alabama was the best team.
Even with his low rushing total, Fournette would still be the favorite if LSU had won the game. He could run for less than 100 yards in each of the last 3 games, but if LSU somehow wins the west (i.e. Bama loses again) he will win the trophy. Conversely, he could go for 150 in each of the final 3 games. But as long as Alabama is still the subjective "best" team. Henry would still be favored ahead of him.
Don't underestimate the laziness of the people who vote for this award.

If people still say there isn't a media bias towards bama then they should be pointed towards that shameful Ingram Heisman.
Ingram had 20 total Tds in 14 games with 1992 yards.
Gerhart had 28 total TDs in 13 games with 2014 yards.
