00:00Carson Beck's my guy here at 30 to one right now.

00:02And think about that.

00:04Like Georgia completes the comeback.

00:05What's the price for Carson Beck?

00:07Like Auburn this week and Auburn's not ranked,

00:09but Auburn's like a national team,

00:11like a nationally recognized team, right?

00:13Mississippi State cupcake game.

00:15Then against Texas,

00:17where they won that game and monster game.

00:19Like they got to play at Ole Miss,

00:22home against Eagle in Tennessee.

00:24Like might play Alabama twice more,

00:26once more obviously before the Heisman Trophy.

00:29Like it's all still in front of Carson Beck.

00:31And Beck was so bad at the beginning

00:32of the game against Bama,

00:34but got it going at the end,

00:35obviously in the second half.

00:37I'm a believer in Carson Beck at price.

00:39At 30, Carson Beck is a bet for me for the Heisman Trophy.

00:43Femi, who are you betting right now

00:44to win the Heisman Trophy in about a minute?

00:47So right now, I'll say this.

00:49Right now, I'm not betting anyone.

00:50I have bet Garrett Nussmeyer.

00:51We talked about that a couple of weeks ago.

00:52Like he's another one of those guys,

00:54home against Ole Miss, home against Alabama,

00:56home against Oklahoma to end the season.

00:58If they were on the table,

00:59they're in the SEC title game.

01:00Like there is a path for him,

01:01although the defense is terrible,

01:02but that's also why he has to throw like 350 yards

01:04and four touchdowns every game.

01:05It's because the defense is bad.

01:06Like it's going to be on that offense

01:07to go ahead and win games here.

01:09But I think, I want to have the Travis Hunter conversation

01:12because that's when I think it's really important

01:13because he was like the big mover in the market.

01:15It's not that he can't win.

01:17He can definitely win.

01:18And he is like the best player

01:19in college football for my money.

01:21But like, I almost feel like we did this a little bit

01:23last year with Marvin Harrison Jr.

01:25Where it's like, oh, like here's the best prospect.

01:27He's the best player.

01:28Let's vote him for the Heisman.

01:29And there's going to be momentum.

01:30There's going to be writers and people who are voter adjacent

01:33who talk about Travis Hunter.

01:34I know people have been out there every Saturday

01:36saying that this guy should win the Heisman

01:38regardless what Colorado's record is.

01:40That's just not how the award typically works.

01:42Like it usually has to go to a player

01:44that's on a winning team.

01:45And unless you believe Colorado can win like nine, 10 games

01:49at seven to one, I would never bet Travis Hunter.

01:51Once again, it's not to say that he can't win.

01:53It's just that would you want to bet on it seven to one

01:56that Colorado is going to be like a double digit

01:58win kind of team and be contending

02:00for the playoff in the Big 12?

02:02I can't get there in the games that I've seen from Colorado.

02:04Even though they're better than people thought, I can't do it.

02:06So the price is what the price is.

02:08They're on buy this week.

02:09So obviously don't bet it this week.

02:10But if you're interested in Travis Hunter,

02:12I think it's, you've missed the boat on that one.

02:14You should have bet him 50 to one before the season started.

02:16Not chasing seven to one,

02:17even though he is the best player in the country.
