With Heisman Trophy votes due by Monday, this year’s race is going down to the wire.

Presumed favorite Derrick Henry could seal his win with a dominant performance against Florida in the SEC Championship Game. Deshaun Watson could make a lasting impression by leading Clemson to an undefeated season and an ACC title over North Carolina. And Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey could rise up with another big all-purpose performance against USC.

Chris Huston, the editor-in-chief of Heisman.com and Heisman Trophy historian, joins the podcast to break down the trends in this year’s race ahead of next Saturday’s presentation. Hosts Zac Ellis and Lindsay also break down the latest College Football Playoff rankings and make their picks for Championship Saturday’s biggest showdowns.
