So we all agree Manti Teo for Heisman is just a super hype machine, right?

i could say the same about Braxton Miller even tho Miller's played against extremely subpar competition and no IT moments like Manti (big game in Norman at night)

Braxton hasn't been talked about as a serious candidate since the Purdue game. People are saying Manziel or Teo for Heisman, which I think is ridiculous.

personally, I think the Te'o hype is more because the media are shocked that a freshman is the favorite so they are looking for someone else.

Top 4
the last 4 games of the season, Te'o was 7 tackles and under.


He hasnt been THAT dude since the Oklahoma game, so we can play the same game with him too.

The Heisman voters and media need to prop up someone from Notre Dame because they are ranked number one so I get it, but he hasnt been the best defensive player in the country, let alone best player.


Its Johnny Badass

johnny nazi who threw 3 picks against lsu? johnny nazi who strggled against florida d? johnny nazi who complied the majority of his stats against some of the most wretched defenses (auburn, sam houston state, la tech):whoo:


:whoo:

the last 4 games

usc only ran 21 times and completed 14 passes thats 35 plays and in that 35 plays teo had 5 tackles and a INT

wake forest 38-0 te'o still had 6 tackles evne though he dind'tplay 4 quarters

boston college a solid 5 tackle game and a int

pittsburhg 7 takes half a sack and a pass defended


:why:

Could be. But I think t majority of it has to do with wanting to put a Notre Dame player in there. I'm watching the USC game and he was barely noticeable except for the telecast mentioning him every 3 plays. Then he gets an interception thrown to him and it's "Hey there goes Manti dominating again."

Like I said, he's good. But like the other poster said, if a player like Suh didn't win when he was arguably the most dominant collegiate d-lineman in I don't know how long, then Te'o isn't the one. Give him the Nagurski award and All American status, but not a Heisman.

those games were closer than they should have been because of Manziel

Lets not ignore what he did to what many believe is the best team in college football and defending national champion.:ld:

Also, he did his damage in the toughest conference in America.

doesnt look like a Heisman winner.:ld:






tbh, this year looks like it will be the weakest heisman winner in some time.

Analysts who watch game tape have said Teo is overrated,solid player but not this amazing game changer hes made out to be

Danielson was on radio today an said on game tape Teo disapppeared in the usc game for quarters and how the announcers overreacted over that pick that came right to him in the usc game as if it was some magical play

I think he fact that he plays for Notre Dame and is a great kid with a great story makes people want to make him better then he is

he also said after that that the sec title game is not the championship and that Notre Dame could beat either one of these schools:aicmon:

Dude went to Penn State as a QB i dont tink Danielson gives a fukk who wins

Plus numerous people have said this about Teo not just him

he has had his heisman moment and his team is undefeated and the leader of his defense

Might be the case, but none of that equates to best player in country though. RGIII and Tebow both had three losses the season when they won, so A&M not being undefeated or in the BCS title hunt shouldnt be held against Manziel

Of course the ATL
Jarvis Jones is the best defensive player in the nation & isn't getting any hype so I sort of agree. But Teo has played well enough to get the invite to NYC so I sort of disagree too :manny:
