Realistically Allen has an extremely slim chance of winning the Heisman, but he could find a way to New York, especially if the Bama defense remains as dominate as it's been all season. If Allen turns out more performances similar to the one he tallied Saturday against Texas A&M and the Tide keep winning it could be hard to keep a member of the undefeated number one team in the nation from New York.
