Saquon is a great player.  If he wins the h award it won’t be because it was all hype.  He will have to prove himself against OSU and Wisconsin. 

We can claim bias against Christian and Bryce but when Christian had his opportunities in prime time during award consideration, he didn’t capitalize unfortunately.

Back to Bryce -  If stanford were 7-0, That would have helped as well.

Which prime time games were you referring to specifically?  The Pac-12 Championship where he set the Stanford all-purpose yardage record with 461 against U$C?  The game before against Noter Dame where he gained 228 yards?  the 2016 Big Game where he gained 283 yards in 31 carries?  Perhaps you were thinking of the 2016 Rose Bowl where he rushed for 172 yards in 18 carries against #6 Iowa and caught 4 passes for another 105 yards and returned a punt for a 63 yard TD and ran a kickoff 29 yards, to say nothing of the kickoff TD that was called back on a rice-paper-thin holding call?  Are those the games you mean?

When you put it that way, it almost sounds as if some of the voters were biased or perhaps voted before all the games were played. Nah...

Could be.  We'd have to ask the 5/6 of H voters who don't work in the Far West and have the words "SEC lickspittle" in their job descriptions.
