With the 12-team College Football Playoff field set, the next domino to fall was determining the finalists for this year’s Heisman Trophy.
Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia, Ohio State’s Julian Sayin and Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love are the finalists for college football’s top honor. Saturday’s Big Ten championship game pitted Mendoza and Sayin against each other, providing a significant opportunity to make a Heisman statement.
