I admit that I am not a very smart man. I don’t always understand all of the advanced analytics and “Moneyball” philosophies that have become so engrained in our sports discussion over the past decade or so. However, seeing regular posts from national media organizations— like the one above— touting Heisman Trophy contenders, but not including Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins is utterly baffling to me. Perhaps there is some sort of data set that my tiny mind just can’t grasp.
Now, I don’t subscribe to the conspiracy theories that ESPN and other sports networks and outlets hate Ohio State.
