Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield is the heavy favorite to walk away with the Heisman Trophy this year.
These are currently the top five:
1) Baker Mayfield/-1500
2) Bryce Love/+1000
3) Saquon Barkley/+1200
4) Lamar Jackson/+2000
5) Jonathan Taylor/+2500
It’s not terribly surprising that Mayfield is number one. Oklahoma is cruising towards the playoff, he’s been dominating and that’s generally a great way to jump up the Heisman rankings.
However, I must take serious exception to the fact Jonathan Taylor is only fifth. Are people unaware that Wisconsin is undefeated, Taylor is the best player on the team and he’s torching defenses? I don’t know if he should be number one, but being fifth is a sad joke. Just pathetic.
