I think my top 3 would be Mayfield, Darnold, and Barkley(I'm not 100% sure if he is returning though)

I like those 3 plus Scarborough. Jackson is going to have to be Cam Newton and undefeated to win again after his final three games and all the unfair chatter that he didn't deserve the award.

Francois will be top 3 with what they have returning unless they self implode and only win 8 games

He'll be there for sure. I don't think he has to be Heisman worthy for FSU to make the playoff though. The rest of the team is loaded. I just think the other 3 have a little head start over him as far as greatness is concerned. But I expect Francois to be in the discussion for the whole year.
