Ok, what exactly is going on here?  These guys can't be taking anything the other guys aren't taking, but they look decidedly different than most pros.  Chris Cormier has this sort of development as well.  Any thoughts?

Either genetic response, or are simply willing to take more than others. Or have figured out which combination works for them their head growth.

Not as pronounced but toward the end of his career Cormier's head was growing too.

The answer is Growth Hormone.

Based off of pubmed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001723/):

Pituitary tumors may produce growth hormone causing giantism in young patients OR enlargement of hands, feet, and facial features (acromegaly) in older patients.

Now, while using a pituitary tumor as an example of how growth hormone can cause acromegaly in an adult isn't the best example, the point is that even when injecting an exogenous source of growth hormone in abundance, the body will start to produce certain side effects, including that of acromegaly (aka Chris "Cranium" Cormier syndrome).

They have nice physiques, but they shouldn't get big heads over it.

Nothing to do with  acromegaly. Jaw muscles simply responding to hormonas.

Thanks.  Your explanatin makes sense but shouldnt this side effect be a lot more common than it seems to be.  GH is the norm among pros these days.

Too many intellectual conversations with other bodybuilders is causing their brains to grow exponentially

Extra cranial protection for the brain. Mother nature's way of looking after the elite. Seeing as bodybuilding attracts intellectual types, it's no surprise that a higher number of bodybuilders would have this genetic quirk.

Are you implying that they all sit in a circle oiled up and pumped "debating each other"?

Genetic means a lot in bodybuilding. A gifted guy can have better results with less gear/food.
I know a few who use steroids, growth, insulin, 400gr of protein a day and look like sh####t.

They are all on the same doses or close to it, it is the HGH, it's just that some are more susceptible to the cranial growth than others. Just like some get gyno and some don't.

It looks fucking weird with the shaved heads though. Someone might need to advise them to let their hair grow back  Tongue
