Current passing efficiency ranking and rating among FBS QBs. It‘s really a 2-man race at this point.

01. 186.24 Julian Sayin, tOSU
02. 184.84 Fernando Mendoza, Indiana

Although espn’s new mantra, after having about 10 different SEC QBs fail to live up to their hype, is that it’s a ‘wide-open’ race. Folks need to ‘think outside the box’. They’re desperate to avoid the B1G CCG being for the Heisman.

Heisman odds are now almost a tossup between Mendoza and Sayin. Love was hurt and had a mediocre game for ND last night.

The winning QB in Indy on Saturday will almost certainly win the Heisman.

1. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana Hoosiers (+125) - Fanduel has +105
2. Julian Sayin, Ohio State Buckeyes (+135) - Fanduel has +155
3. Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt Commodores (+330) - Fanduel has +400
4. Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame Fighting Irish (+1400) - Fanduel has +1600

Vaughn Dalzell’s Heisman Rankings​

1. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana Hoosiers (+125)
Next Game: Big Ten Championship Saturday 8 PM ET vs #1 Ohio State
Last Game: 144 total yards, 3 total TDs at Purdue (56-3 win)
Season Stats: 2,758 passing yards, 243 rushing yards, 38 total TDs, 5 INTs

Fernando Mendoza capped off Indiana’s first-ever undefeated season with three touchdowns, 144 yards and a 56-3 win at Purdue, shifting his odds from -115 to +125 because the lack of yards. Mendoza led the country in touchdown passes this season with 32 — one of only two players to reach 30 and his quarterback rating came in second (183.7).

However, after Ohio State beat Michigan, Sayin’s odds improved, so Mendoza and Sayin are neck and neck with 10 cents of difference on their price. The Heisman will come down to who wins the Big Ten, Ohio State or Indiana? Mendoza has the Heisman locked up if Indiana wins the Big Ten Championship and Sayin if Ohio State does.

2. Julian Sayin, Ohio State Buckeyes (+135)
Next Game: Big Ten Championship Saturday 8 PM ET vs #2 Indiana
Last Game: 233 passing yards on 19/26, 3 TDs, 1 INT at #15 Michigan (27-9 win)
Season Stats: 2,832 passing yards, 79.4 comp %, 27 TDs, 4 INTs
Julian Sayin had a performance to remember against Michigan as the Buckeyes’ snapped their four-game losing streak against the Wolverines. Sayin and Ohio State completed the undefeated regular season, along with Indiana as the only two teams to accomplish the feat.

Sayin tossed 233 yards and three touchdowns after an early interception at Michigan. He completed 19-of-26 passes (73.1%), which was arguably his best performance over the last four games. Sayin had four touchdown passes in the three games prior to Michigan, so he did everything possible to even the score with Mendoza entering the Big Ten Championship.

Stock Up​

Julian Sayin, Ohio State Buckeyes (+135)

Julian Sayin finished the regular season with a 79.4 completion percentage, which led the nation by over 4%. Sayin also led the country in quarterback rating, edging out Mendoza (185.4 to 183.7). Sayin finished fifth in touchdown passes (27) and his four interceptions was one of the best across the country. While his past few starts without Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith didn’t go so well, he bounced back with both in a dominant win at Michigan.

Pavia at 3rd is hilarious. He doesn't have another opportunity to "impress" the voters. He does have good stats though. About 1000 more total yards, 6 more total TDs, and 3 more ints than Julian.

Surprised Stockton and Simpson aren't up there, they have another game against each other to make a case. Although both of their performances this week were not great.

It's all about the timing. Did Sayin's pick require Sayin to rally for a late TD drive that included a catch from a WR that was itself unbelievable?

No.

I don't think so.

But only if said wr is an unheralded commodity, lest that wr start getting credit for said plays instead of the QB.
