Last Word on College Football Heisman Rankings<\/h2>\n

Well, you can’t say this group didn’t make the most of their opportunities. The usual suspects had great ends to their regular seasons this past weekend. Saquon Barkley<\/a><\/strong> and Lamar Jackson<\/a><\/strong> each had solid performances in big wins for their programs. Rashaad Penny<\/a><\/strong> joined the 2,000-yard club and Quinton Flowers<\/a><\/strong> nearly came up with a program-defining win for the ages. And, Kerryon Johnson<\/a><\/strong> had a huge game in defeating Alabama<\/strong> in the Iron Bowl<\/strong>. How will those performances have a lasting affect our 2017 Heisman rankings this week?<\/p>\n

One chance. One shining moment. One more opportunity.\u00a0Baker Mayfield<\/a> <\/strong>and\u00a0<\/strong>Bryce Love<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0will have one last chance to impress the voters on championship weekend. Mayfield holds a king-size lead but must again face one of the best defenses in the country as the Sooners face TCU<\/strong> in the Big 12 Championship Game<\/strong>. On the other side of the country, it’s amazing what Love has been able to do on one and a half ankles. Will a great game against USC<\/strong> in the PAC 12 Championship Game<\/strong> give the voters something to think about?<\/p>\n

I firmly believe if Penny played for another school that had a little more of the national spotlight, he would be number two in our rankings. Be that as it may, Penny has hit the 2,000-yard mark this season.<\/div>\n

The end of the season has not been kind to both Penn State and Barkley. But, like the team, Barkley has bounced back well over the last couple of weeks. Based on how he started, Barkley should at least get an invite to New York.<\/p>\n
