Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

50% CHANCE

At the start of the season, the Tigers’ starting signal caller was already booking his flight and getting a new suit for this ceremony – he was that much of a sure fire bet to be a finalists and likely the winner after being one of the final three last season.

Watson saw a slight did in yardage and threw a couple more interceptions this season after a 2015 campaign where he was so close to being a national champ. Still, No. 4 was without a doubt one of the best players in all of college football this season.

Despite beating one of the other finalists head to head, Watson is going to need a split in East and Southeast voters and some help from across the country if he is going to bring home the hardware.
