After a dominant redshirt freshman campaign, Jameis Winston appears poised to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night. Florida State's quarterback is already the runaway winner in America's eyes.

Readers cast more than 380,000 votes over the past week to help Winston capture the top spot in SI.com's annual People's Heisman poll. Winston earned 789,641 total points, nearly 525,000 more than the runner-up, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. The votes were tabulated using the traditional Heisman voting formula, which awards three points to first place, two to second and one to third.

Many college football pundits are predicting that Winston will win the Heisman on Saturday in a lopsided vote. If the results of the People's Heisman voting are any indication, that's likely to happen. Winston received 253,177 (65.35 percent) of the available 387,418 first place votes, more than three times the number received by McCarron, who finished second with 68,302 first place votes. Auburn running back Tre Mason got the third-most first place votes with 57,709.

THAMEL: Time for the Heisman Trophy to make clear what it truly represents

That Winston will win the Heisman is almost a certainty, but it's anyone's guess as to how the race behind the Seminoles star will shake out. That held true in the People's vote, too, where McCarron finished ahead of Mason by just 744 second place votes.

There was a major drop-off after the top three players in the People's Heisman poll. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, last season's winner, finished fourth, with a total of 21,140 points and only 2,266 first place votes.
