It’s an embarrassment to the award that he was invited
We all knew Mathieu wasn't winning it when he was invited.

Hurts is a class act

So from here on out, does any DE with 15-16 sacks in a season get an invite?

I think the Fields and Young invites guarantees Burrow is winning. They will split any Midwest votes that are determined not to vote for Burrow. Hurts just isn’t a real threat.
you think there's any ounce of uncertainty who wins this? Even if those two weren't splitting votes, it wouldn't matter. It won't be particularly close.
He will be in the Mayfield-Troy Smith range as far as voting pct (so far ahead of everyone)

Why do we have so many fans who just can't be happy? You have Heisman voters coming flat out and saying that Burrow has this thing locked up.
On Saturday we will have a Heisman winning QB at frickin LSU. Soak this shite up. It rarely ever happens.

Always struck me as a good kid. He wanted to play like Burrow. Hard to fault him for that.

He created more turnovers and scored more points in that season than Chase Young has in his entire career.

Young... zero production in the 2 biggest games of the year. Suspended for 2 games. Yup he's a Heisman candidate
Tyrann didn’t win the Heisman, I can’t imagine a defensive player ever winning it again

Chase Young's last two games were a donut (0 tackles) at Michigan and 4 solo 2 assists at Wisconsin. Not like he tore it up at the end to solidify an invite. How does he even stack up statistically against top pass rushers in the country?

Burrow will win, and should.
Young is just media members saving face for the pedestal they put him on.

Young probably got 1 vote.

Should’ve been:
Burrow
J. Chase
Fields
Hurts
Burrow
J. Chase
Fields
Hurts

This was posted in another thread and explains how the invites are determined.

4. How are the finalists determined?
This is one of the most misunderstood parts of the Heisman process. You will often hear media or fans complain that a certain player was snubbed by not being invited to the Heisman ceremony. But the finalists are not determined arbitrarily. Starting from the understanding that there will always be a minimum of three finalists, whether or not more will be invited is determined by how close the fourth-place finisher’s point total is to that of the third place finisher’s, how close the fifth-place finisher’s is to that of the fourth-place finisher’s and so on.
In the 2008 Heisman vote, for instance, Florida’s Tim Tebow finished third with 1,575 points. The fourth-place finisher, Graham Harrell of Texas Tech, totaled 213 points. Because of the huge gap between those totals, Harrell was not invited to the ceremony, which featured just three finalists. In 2010, Kellen Moore’s fourth place finish of 635 points brought him much closer to LaMichael James’ third-place finish of 916, so Moore was included as one of the four finalists. The fifth-place finisher in 2010, Justin Blackmon of Oklahoma State, had just 105 points. There was a clear demarcation of support between him and Moore, so the finalists were capped at four.
In other words, the closeness of the point totals determines the final number of finalists. Where major gaps exist, that’s where you get a cutoff

Burrow about to win the Heisman on a landslide and y'all are over here talking about chase young. Smh
Posted on 12/9/19 at 6:55 pm to oOoLsUtIgErSoOo
No one that is suspended or sat out due to illegal loans should get invited with others more deserving out there ie Chase, Hurts, Lawrence, etc.
Posted on 12/9/19 at 6:55 pm to oOoLsUtIgErSoOo
Burrow will win the Heisman by a landslide. The other invitees are there just to congratulate him.

Where is T Law, the best qb in the land?
