We are just four days away from the official announcement for this year's Heisman Trophy winner in college football. I will be there live from the Heisman Trophy ceremony Saturday night in New York City. Before Saturday night hits, Brady Farkas and I were joined by ESPN's Chris Low to discuss this year's race and what what candidates he is leaning towards.

Yeah this is a tougher year for the Heisman for guys like him, because there are so many players that are going to be right there in the thick of things. I still have about till five o’clock today, I’ll be honest with you, I’ve gone back and forth. . I can tell you who I’ve narrowed it down to. I’ve narrowed it down to essentially four guys: Deshaun Watson, Baker Mayfield, Christian McCaffery and Derek Henry, and I wouldn’t be stunned if one of those four won it. I would have thought that maybe going into this past weekend that Henry was a little bit of a front-runner at Alabama and if you look at the way McCaffery played and how well he played, he was just lights out for Stanford this past weekend and Deshaun Watson, I’m telling you this guys, I was in Charlotte for that game, Clemson-North Carolina game, if you take Deshaun Watson and out him on North Carolina’s team in that game, the Tar Heels win. He was really, really good, so I don’t know, Mayfield is at a disadvantage because he didn’t play this weekend, but he was lights out down the stretch. I don’t know who wins, maybe Henry, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see McCaffery or Watson slide in there"

This year's Heisman Trophy ceremony will be on Saturday December 12th at 8pm eastern. For more on Chris' thoughts on the upcoming college football bowls, listen to the full interview below.
