Who are Heisman Trophy favorites? Breaking down contenders before finalists are revealed

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is the overwhelming favorite for the Heisman Trophy after throwing for 421 yards and three touchdowns in the Crimson Tide's 41-24 win against Georgia to claim the SEC championship.

The debate in this year's race centers instead on which players will join Young in Manhattan for the Heisman ceremony, with the list of four finalists set to be announced Monday evening.

With no consensus around which three standouts will follow Young, there is a chance that a running back and a defensive player pull votes away from a talented but thin second tier of quarterbacks.
