Heisman
Candidates: Tua Tagovailoa (Bama), Kyler Murray (Okl), Will Grier (WV)
I think all of these players are really good. One thing that people might not notice is that these players have some of the top receiving units in the country. When you look on paper Kyler Murray is the most consistent and has the most TDs and stuff like that. Will Grier has been in more last second moments than Tua and Kyler and succeeded in those moments. Tua Tagovailoa has been doing so good in the first three quarters that he has not needed to play in the 4th quarter. Two other things about Tua are that he has been injured half the season and he has been playing against the best defenses in the country, plus he has had a lot less attempts than Murray and Grier anyway and still has almost just as good stats as them.
The winner is: Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama)
QB of the year (same as Heisman)
RB of the year
Candidates: Jonathan Taylor (Wis), Travis Entienne (Clem), Eno Benjamin (ASU)
The winner is: Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin)
WR of the year
Candidates: Jerry Jeudy (Bama), Rondale Moore (Pur), Anthony Johnson (Buff)
I think this one was very close and any of them could have won, but for me the winner was just too awesome to watch to not give the award.
The winner is: Rondale Moore (Purdue)
TE of the year
Candidates: Irv Smith Jr. (Bama), Jace Sternberger (TAMU), T.J. Hockenson (Iowa)
Like the WR of the year, the winner was just too awesome to lose.
The winner is: Irv Smith Jr. (Alabama)

Upset of the year
Candidates: BYU over Wisconsin, Old Dominion over VT, Purdue over Ohio St.
I couldn’t really think of many upsets this year. BYU over Wisconsin: This game wasn’t a huge upset for me because I know BYU is good at getting upsets. ODU over VT: I’m not too surprised since I know that Virginia Tech can get pretty inconsistent. Purdue over Ohio St.: I actually picked Purdue to win this game! I thought Purdue would win because I thought Ohio St. didn’t have a good defense, they were one-dimensional, and Purdue has a great offense and a decent defense.
The winner is: BYU over Wisconsin

North Texas is favored by 8.0 points. I think Utah St. will win in a shootout. W
Las Vegas Bowl: Arizona St. vs Fresno St.
Fresno St. is favored by 4.0 points. On my All-American team I have 2 Arizona St. players on my second team offense (RB Eno Benjamin and WR N’Keal Harry) (only Eno Benjamin is playing in the game though) and with Eno Benjamin I think ASU will be able to score some points. I think this game will be decided late by a few defensive plays and Arizona St. will get the upset. L

Georgia Southern is favored by 1.0 point. I think Eastern Michigan will win in a close one. L

Washington St. is favored by 3.5 points. I think WASU will win no problem. W
Saturday, December 29th 2-3 (16-15)
Orange Bowl CFP: Alabama vs Oklahoma
No spread. I think Alabama will be very motivated (especially their defense) because Kyler Murray won the Heisman instead of Tua. Either way I think Alabama will win. W
Peach Bowl: Florida vs Michigan
Michigan is favored by 7.5 points. I think Michigan should win this game, but you never know what you’ll get in a game like this with Florida and Michigan. L

Tuesday, January 1st 2-3 ( 21-21)
Outback Bowl: Mississippi St. vs Iowa
MSST is favored by 7.0 points. I think Mississippi St. will win, but I’m not too sure because Iowa has a really good rush defense. L
Citrus Bowl: Penn St. vs Kentucky
Penn St. is favored by 6.5 points. I think Penn St. should win easily. L
Fiesta Bowl: LSU vs UCF
No Spread. I reeeeaaaallllyyyy want LSU to win because it’s really annoying that UCF thinks that they can beat anyone, so I’m gonna pick LSU. W
Rose Bowl: Washington vs Ohio St.
Ohio St. is favored by 7.0 points. I think Ohio St, will win. W
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs Texas
Georgia is favored by 13.0 points. I think Georgia will win, but I don’t think it’s really fair to say that Texas, a team that almost beat a playoff team twice, doesn’t stand a chance against Georgia. L
Monday, January 7th 0-1 (21-22)
National Championship:
First I’m going to say everyone’s weaknesses. Alabama: maybe secondary and definitely Special Teams. Clemson: Secondary definitely, Texas A&M was able to put up 400+ passing yards against them and South Carolina put up 500+ passing yards against them (both of those are SEC teams you know). Notre Dame: I don’t know if they have any weaknesses. Oklahoma: Defense in General. Predictions: Alabama vs Clemson: Alabama would win: Alabama vs Notre Dame: Alabama would win: Oklahoma vs Notre Dame: Notre Dame would win: Oklahoma vs Clemson: Clemson would win. L
