This weekend, another writer on our team published an article: “Why Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia Might Be the Real Heisman Favorite."
Maybe I’m a little too cynical, and not falling for the Cinderella story taking place in Nashville this season, but in what universe is Diego Pavia in contention for a Heisman?

Taking Vanderbilt to a 7-1 record is impressive, but the Heisman should be awarded to the best player in college football, not the best E60 episode in 10 years.
Currently, Pavia isn’t in the top 50 in passing yards; he’s only 24th in passing touchdowns; he’s 88th in rushing yards; and 81st in rushin
