    Since it's ESPN's baby, they could do whatever they want. One minute highlight reel, two minute interview x 5? That's 15 minutes. Throw in a four minute open, and a final segment to announce the winner and grab and interview, that still gives you 10 minutes to play around with.

    It would have been sweet if the Navy QB had been invited.

    They had already worked out a helicopter landing on the field and were going to whisk him to the ceremony.

    That would have been freaking awesome.

    Player and game highlights are all over YouTube and the Internet in general. In 2015 there is no excuse other than laziness for any Heisman voter to have not seen any of the candidates.

    Distant? Third? No chance. He either wins or is a close second. I hope he wins, but I'd be surprised. I've seen him a few times, and he's very good. But the three other folks in the office in the Toy department had never seen him play. How can a guy break that record and NOT win it? Though Henry has put up some great stats as well. I was certain he clinched it Saturday until I saw McCaffrey's night.

    They can make it work with five players on the show. If they want to.

    Current odds on Bovada....

    Henry -600
    McCaffrey +400
    Watson +1600

    Henry is probably going to win, and comfortably, but I'm wondering....with the Heisman voters sworn to secrecy now, is a bet on McCaffrey worth it? It was so much easier to set the odds a few years ago before the secrecy pact, which is hot garbage in my opinion.

    I'm going with McCaffrey.

    Henry. I don't think it will be close either.

    I might put a small sum of money on McCaffrey if he's getting +400. He's getting a good amount of buzz coming off his Pac-12 title game performance. Might be some value in that bet.

    That said, I don't think he will win. I hope he does. He's who I would vote for. But SEC running backs were the hotness this season, and Henry came out on top of that field.

    Nice. I hope you win. I don't have enough faith in the voters to put a bet on McCaffrey, but I do hope he wins.

    I don't know who I'd vote for, leaning toward Henry, but I do think Watson should be getting more consideration than he is. I suspect if he played for FSU (or in the SEC/Big 10/Big 12/Pac 12) and had the season he did, while leading an undefeated team, the award would be all but his at this point.

    He quarterbacked the No. 1 team in the country, which is also undefeated.
