Heisman Trophy drama heats up as Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Ohio State’s Julian Sayin lead a field of four hopefuls. Can Mendoza’s historic undefeated season and clutch Big Ten championship drives topple Sayin’s record-breaking efficiency and 12-1 Buckeye campaign? The race intensifies, with Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia showcasing dual-threat prowess and Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love powering through with explosive yardage and a divisive media narrative.

Craig Shemon breaks down each finalist’s Heisman moments, debating the weight of individual stats, iconic plays on national TV, and the impact of school legacy. Key insights include Indiana’s quest for a first-ever Heisman, Ohio State’s tradition, and whether anti-Notre Dame sentiment could sway voters. Fan engagement, the evolution of highlight consumption, and rival coaches’ recruiting moves round out the analysis. Who will claim college football’s ultimate award?
