And you jeanty kids talk about 130 snaps a game like it’s nothing, despite being unquestionably top three WR (debatably #1) and a top three CB. It never has been done and never again will be done. Jeanty was good, but nothing that hasn’t been done before.

The mental gymnastics of Joel Klatt. So if your logic for Heisman is simply a person who has done something we’ve never seen before then you’d be willing to put a field goal kicker for Heisman who hits 20 60 yarders in a season? The Heisman is the best player who also elevates their team to greatness. If that’s Travis Hunter then fine, but as far as I can tell Colorado isn’t even in the 12 team playoff. By that metric alone, he did not elevate his team to greatness.

[@dankcoyote]

What did Colorado do against their one rival who’s in a tougher conference? They got embarrassed by Nebraska. Sitting here yanking on Jeanty. Jeanty played against Oregon and carried his team into the playoffs with 1 loss to the #1 team who has the other Heisman candidate who put in work against #3 Ohio State, and #2 Penn State leading them to an undefeated season. Promoting Hunter and Sanders who didn’t even go to the conference championship in the Big12. Yeah, no wonder they looked amazing. Colorado would be 6-6 in the B1G or SEC. A lot of Heisman candidates coming off a 6-6 team? Your bias is so insufferable.

[@jmtz3149]

Im not shocked he holds this opinion since he is a colorado fan but come on. Hunter was good on both sides of the ball but not great in either. Jeanty dominated his position like no one else in the sport this season.

He allowed 1 TD all year on defense. Idk about you but that's pretty great...

The main problem with the portal is that the kids still have to be registered for spring semesters. Some schools start around January 5th. They need to have the title game end by January 1st and allow the portal to open up January 2nd through until MLK Day-end January, so kids can be registered for classes and kids can be committed to their teams for the playoffs/bowl games.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

kids go to class? while getting paid 6 figures? idk about that nowadays. they could care less and the football teams need them regardless

@@GoatedAtNFS I know they don’t care but they still have to have some kind of eligibility. Just saying, when they decide, they have to think about the long term, not only the short term.

I listen to every episode of this show and I think you are the best voice in college football, but I will not listen anymore. I know this doesn’t matter to you because you have 2 million TikTok views. You’re glazing of Colorado has gone too far. The way you claim bias against Colorado and Deon sanders, but then let the bias against the mountains west go right over your head is insane. There was a triple crown winner, Nick Nash, who should have won the Wr award. Don’t act like Travis hunter just deserved that. Then, we are about to have the NCAA all time leading rusher and you say it shouldn’t even be close. You are out of your mind and sooooooo bias it is not longer funny and I can no longer support.

[@connormalan7993]

I agree with what you've said to a point. Travis could be the best player in college football and have a "historic" season. But, when people are talking about Jeanty they aren't using the same wording because apparently what he did was a "remarkable" season. One guy was actually able to carry his team to games that mattered while the other guy couldn't WHILE HAVING SANDERS who will also go top 5 in this class. Jeanty had no help compared to Hunter. I agree Hunter should have won the award but saying that one guy was "clearly" the Heisman is absolutely moronic.

[@ubadman1]

no it absolutely shouldve been hunter and the fact it was even close is asinine. Jentry plays in non power 5 league and what he is doing has been done before by players who didnt win the Heisman in power 5 football. Hunter was unprecedent performance on the field on a power 5 team. he wasnt good or above average he was all american on two sides of the ball.

[@Marv.18]

That UCF interception and the touchdown against Baylor were insane! Additionally there were like two catches this year that Travis made that would have usually been PI, but Travis still caught them. Those were wild! Just so many plays that were actually insane from Travis. I think Travis and Jeanty could have both deserved it. I’m tired of people saying Jeanty was robbed. It was very deserving for both. Additionally, Colorado was in the 4 way tie of the big 12, and tired of people using that as means to discredit Travis too. And then Travis was hurt for one of their ranked team games.

Not enough people talk about his best play of the season. Which isn’t all the catches and interceptions. It was the goal line first and goal against Baylor where he caused a pin point fumble on a running back to win the game. The versatility is amazing. Who can make those catches and interceptions but also square up on a running back and knock the ball out?

[@byrondowling195]

Joel man I like you but I feel like try as you may, you can't shake the Colorado bias from creeping in. I don't think your justifications are unrealistic but I feel like you conveniently left out things that weaken your case. Mainly that Colorado really never sniffed a chance at the playoff (other teams unprecedentedly lost to give them a chance and they still blew that) and that Colorado got worked by an average Big10 school. So I think when you said Jeanty could have been knocked for playing in the Moutain West I think it's equally fair to knock Travis for doing this in the Big12. Then, with that comparison in mind, at least Jeanty was essentially a one man offense that drove his team to the playoff. Team success matters to a lot of voters and if you remove Jeanty from Boise I don't think they win 8 games. If you remove Travis from Colorado, I don't think their record is any different (after all you had Shedeur at #3). Also Travis missed some time this year. Just my thoughts, both are worthy contenders but if you're going to compare the two at least cover all the angles.

The biggest highway robbery of the Heisman trophy of all time. Popularity contest now. 2600 total yards and 30 TDs. People just putting up the rushing stats. Jeanty #1 in all categories and carried his team to the CFP. IN A CONSTANT 8 man BOX. I could go on and on and on. I love Deion sheadur and them. And those two helped push Travis over the edge. Don’t care bout this popularity contest award anymore because all the voters don’t watch the games. Travis mainly ran slants, fades on offense and inside shade man and a cloud flat. That’s it. Not impressive in mostly single coverage..

[@mikeorr9033]

Above avg on both sides and generational at the RB position. Don’t get it twisted

[@superiorvibes4639]

Based on how you described Travis you can say all Jeanty did was run the ball pass below average tacklers. Both are generational but there two New Mexico RBs averaging almost the same YPC than Jeanty so who’s to say if they get more carries they’re not having that same type of year?
