Six players players named Heisman finalists for the first time since 1994.

Leading the way as the majority favorite is undoubtedly Florida State freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, who has completed 67.9 percent of his throws for 3,820 yards, 38 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, leads the country with a 190.1 passer rating and guided the ‘Noles to a 13-0 record and a spot in the BCS National Championship Game.

It took 77 years for a freshman to finally win the Heisman, but Winston has a great chance to make it back-to-back occasions.

He would, of course, follow in the footsteps of Johnny Manziel, who won the award last year and has put together a pretty impressive encore, tallying 4,418 total yards (3,732 passing, 686 rushing), 41 total touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
