Looking nationally, the B1G might be well represented come the end of the season.  Saquon Barkley and Bryce Love seem neck and neck as frontrunners.  Baker Mayfield has faded, and will need some strong wins to get back into consideration.  Jonathan Taylor is getting a bit of national consideration and leads the B1G in rushing.  And JT Barrett is on track to get back in the race if the offense continues to run amok.

I dunno Mayfield answered when Texas took the lead in the 4th.Still what at least 5 games left in the season.IMO right now it would be Mayfield or Barkley but I haven't sorted thru the stats/facts

Yeah, Mayfield had some minute heroics to pull out the W against Texas in a big nationally televised rivalry game. If OU wins out and he keeps putting up big numbers he'll be right in the thick of it. 
Can't discount Bryce Love with that video game stats he's putting up. 
Think it's going to be Love, Barkley, and Mayfield as the only true contenders IMO.

Taylor needs to do what he's doing against better teams. Until then he's not in the conversation.

You guys are whipping out names of guys I've never even heard of.  Open your tunnel vision, fellas.

[847badgerfan]

Seriously? Never heard of any of those guys?

Anyway, the premise was related to the B1G players getting Heisman consideration, on the B1G board.

Uh, have you turned on the ole telly this season?

To be honest, I don't know how it isn't Love in a landslide right now.  Granted Toby should have won it his year too.

[MarqHusker]

The way Herby talks, Stanford should be grateful for that 11pm pst timeslot, and Love is lucky to be on TV at all.

I do agree.  Love should be the runaway leader.

If he continues on his current pace, I think he will be the winner.  But Stanford had a rough go early in the season, and he didn't have any of that all important Heisman Hype coming into the season, so he started further behind.

they still have wazzu, wash, cal and nd. he's got plenty of opportunity to lock it down vs good comp.
wish damien harris was getting normal touches this year. rb by committee is great, but it doesn't let any single player take over. if he had average touches for a starting rb (~20/g instead of the 9 he gets now), he'd be in mix.

I think it's an interesting Tuesday topic, but not that interesting for me personally.  ESPN and SI and other sites have their top five and I know folks sometimes debate whether someone should be 1st or 2nd at this point when we have so much left to play.

[Mdot21]

Love is literally putting up video game stats. He should be the leader in the clubhouse right now. If he keeps it up these next 5 games and just goes nuts on Washington and ND in nationally televised games he'll pretty much have it locked up.

Barkley is 2nd at this point in the season and he'll have 4 huge opportunities vs Michigan, Ohio State, MSU, and Nebraska to really put on a show and vault himself into 1st place. If he just tears it up and dominates all 4 of those teams he's going to probably win it.

In the updated ESPN Heisman watch Barkely is #1, Taylor is #5 and Barrett is #8.
Minkah Fitzpatrick is the guy generating any amount of buzz among defenders.
