Why Heisman voters say Arch Manning is miles away from their ballot

Arch Manning's early season performances have fallen short of Heisman Trophy expectations, according to a recent straw poll of award voters. While the young quarterback was initially viewed as a preseason frontrunner alongside Notre Dame's CJ Carr, a survey of fourteen electors revealed that none currently place Manning on their three-man ballot.

Voters pointed to his middle-of-the-pack efficiency and touchdown-to-interception numbers within a competitive Southeastern Conference, where several other signal-callers have garnered consideration instead. Meanwhile, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has emerged as the clear favorite in the early polling.
