I think Mayfield deserved it. His numbers were ridiculous, and he's led his team to the CFP. Yes, he did some dumb things, but I think he's been publicly excoriated for it, had his captaincy revoked, and I believe he apologized. Compared to Johnny Football, he's a saint.
I am not sure I see how, even were he at a higher-pub school like Alabama, that Bryce would have deserved the award over Mayfield.
Personally, I'm thrilled he beat out Jackson (who had a phenomenal season) for the Bridesman. I think it's fun to collect all these second-place finishes in the H.eisman. It's not an objective award and the clearly better player has not won it a ton of times, including (I think) Toby, Andrew (one of the times) and Christian. But not this year.
