We’re here, and we’re finalizing the bowl contest. Giddy-up. Last year we had various point values for different games and went from there. Any one have any thing they’d like to add – and remember to pass it along to your buddies… the more the merrier.
From the “Talks too much” studios, it’s time for the magic to happen.
Heisman finalists
One unlikely finalist made a huge push to get an invite. Four others survived late hiccups to get a trip to NYC. The final invitee – and the overwhelming favorite – became the front runner because he was was not charged with a felony.
Auburn running back Tre Mason (21) and Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn celebrate during their Southeastern Conference NCAA championship game against the Missouri, Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013, in Atlanta. Auburn won 59-42.Talk about an eclectic group.
Auburn’s Tre Mason ran for 304 yards in the SEC title game a week after going for 168 against Alabama. Mason was named the SEC offensive player of the year on Monday. Dude has been a monster. In fact, he has been so good that while he will not win the Heisman, Mason has likely positioned himself as the top draft-eligible running back in this class and almost certainly has to declare for the draft. (RBs only have so many hits on their legs, and next year, when likely first-round picks Todd Gurley and T.J. Yeldon are available, Mason would fall down the board just by improved competition.)
