Heisman race still open

It's rare to see the Heisman Trophy race in such flux. For a while, it was all about Johnny Manziel, then it was about Marcus Mariota, then about Jameis Winston. At this point, it's anybody's race. If integrity and character weren't factors in the voting, Winston would probably win in a walk. But his legal problems opened the door for two to three other players. A.J. McCarron, who bested Manziel in a head-to-head matchup, will likely benefit the most from Winston's legal woes. Manziel shouldn't be counted out, but a home loss to Alabama and his interception total (13) make it an uphill climb.
