But who is that winner going to be and what will be the shape of his win?

Point totals
Many are predicting a landslide for Manziel, but I think it’ll be a comfortable-but-not-too-close win on the order of the margin by which Gino Torretta won in 1992:
Manziel — 1,900 points
Te’o — 1,500 points
Klein — 1,000 points
Braxton Miller — 250 points
Marqise Lee — 180 points
