Cam Ward | #HE1SMAN Campaign

[Yoyo82]

At least this guy thinks Cam Ward should still be in it and have a decent chance to win it.

What went wrong for nine CFP hopefuls? The slides of LSU, Clemson, Texas A&M and more

Bill Connelly looks at nine teams whose once-promising playoff hopes are going in the wrong direction.

Through 12 weeks, here are your points leaders:

1. Ashton Jeanty, Boise State: 51
2. Cam Ward, Miami: 49
3. Travis Hunter, Colorado: 38
4. Dillon Gabriel, Oregon: 29
5. Jalen Milroe, Alabama: 28
6. Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss: 24
7. Cam Skattebo, Arizona State: 20
8T. Miller Moss, USC: 15
8T. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado: 15
8T. Tyler Warren, Penn State: 15 points

Three weeks ago, Gabriel was the betting favorite. Two weeks ago, it was Ward. In the past two weeks, Travis Hunter has produced 159 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, picked off a deflected pass ... and become an overwhelming betting favorite for the Heisman. His ESPN BET odds are now -400, equivalent to an 80% chance of winning.

The Heisman is usually a stats award to a large degree. But sometimes it becomes a vibes award, and it appears the vibes are coalescing on the do-it-all athlete in Boulder. I can't complain, really -- Hunter is obviously incredible -- but I think this does a massive disservice to two players who have looked equally spectacular this year (Jeanty and Ward) and have produced dynamite stats to boot. There's no way anyone should be an 80% favorite to win this thing right now.

No one has cast their votes yet, and we're obviously just talking about betting odds. But hopefully voters objectively watch all three players down the stretch. This should be way too tight a race for the conventional wisdom to have already settled on one player.

Dillon Gabriel throws for 180 yards but they win so he somehow sky rockets up.

Unfortunately it’s Hunters to lose at this point. He made a catch today where he jumped and the defenders just put a hand up. Gus Johnson made it sound like he went up over Shaq and mossed them.

I was listening to a hesiman video and only thing they could say about Dillon was he was QB on best team, they started listing his stats and even they had to make comment how it wasnt that strong, lol..

Natty trophy is better hardware.. hope he uses this as motivation...I know I would.

Cmon man, this is ridiculous cope.

I think the vibe part is the blind spot on this board, tried to explain that couple weeks back and it was dismissed, now they see a leaderboard on saturday night abc and everyone is up in arms, welcome to the party pal..
