Diego Pavia reacted to his second-place Heisman Trophy finish as only he would.

"F all the voters," Vanderbilt's quarterback wrote on social media.

Hey, he's talking about us! We're the voters.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams reveal their Heisman Trophy ballots and sound off on Pavia's response to not winning. 

We take no significant offense to Pavia criticizing sportswriters and their votes. After all, sportswriters are critics. We can handle the blowback (even if we voted for Pavia). But, Pavia's reaction took some of the spotlight away from Indiana's Fernando Mendoza. That's where he erred.

Also in this episode, a discussion of whether Kalen DeBoer is making the right move pledging allegiance to Alabamawhile the Michigan job sits open.

Finally, College Football Playoff picks against the spread!
