00:00Meanwhile, let's take a look at the current odds to win the Heisman.

00:07You made a really good point earlier in the week, which is if Alabama is to beat Georgia,

00:12then maybe this is your last opportunity to take Jalen Monroe at any kind of long odds

00:17here.

00:18He's plus 750 over on FanDuel.

00:20Now Cam Ward is at the best season of anyone in college football, but as you said also

00:25earlier in the week, the Heisman for September is not the Heisman for November.

00:29So to me, that's my take on it.

00:31If you think Alabama is going to win this game, you should jump on Monroe right now

00:34because he'll be down to four or five to one after the game.

00:37But if you don't think so, who else would you pick to win the Heisman?

00:41Well, I think Cameron Ward, we get to see him tonight against Virginia Tech and these

00:44Friday night games are very good for teams that want to get that exposure.

00:49I don't know how many people have watched Miami closely with the exception of the Florida

00:53Gators game.

00:54If he goes out against Virginia Tech tonight, throws 350 yards and four touchdowns, he's

00:59thrown for 300 or more yards in every game this year.

01:02Cam Ward will still be in the lead.

01:04But when everybody's watching Georgia and Alabama, the winner of that game will get

01:08a bump.

01:09And I think if Jalen Monroe is able to do what he did last year and lead them to a victory

01:14against Georgia, he had two touchdowns in this game last year and he's the right mix

01:18of throwing the ball plus rushing touchdowns.

01:22Now a lot of people have been talking about Travis Hunter too.

01:25I just don't.

01:26I get the snap count.

01:27I get the two-way play.

01:29I still think Colorado has to be on the radar.

01:32I don't think they can go four and eight or five and seven and award Travis Hunter the

01:37Heisman.

01:38He might get a ton of votes.

01:39He might play a ton of snaps.

01:41But I think he's one of those off-the-radar guys that keeps getting attention.

01:44And it's worth it.

01:45What he's doing is pretty phenomenal.
