I afloat believed Ewers could dress up for his missed games pinch a beardown capacity against Georgia. I’m not judge what to judge now. It would beryllium ridiculous to opportunity nan Texas QB is retired of nan race, but nan Longhorns whitethorn person to triumph retired successful bid for him to person immoderate chance.

Welcome to nan Top 10, Kurtis Rourke! We’ve been expecting you.

Despite nan truth nan Hoosiers’ backmost is retired for astatine slightest this week’s crippled aft his thumb surgery, he perfectly deserves consideration. This UNDEFEATED Indiana squad simply is not successful a position to triumph nan Big Ten does not hap without him. Amazingly, Rourke wasn’t moreover connected nan committee until Week 5 (+10000) and his likelihood person hovered betwixt 10-1 and 8-1 ever since.

The transportation from Ohio has thrown for 1,941 yards, 15 touchdowns and 3 interceptions pinch different 2 scores connected nan ground. He whitethorn not triumph nan Heisman, but don’t beryllium amazed if he gets an induce to New York if he keeps this up.

Alabama backmost Jalen Milroe (4) dances for a tv camera aft scoring a touchdown during nan 3rd 4th of their crippled Saturday, September 14, 2024 astatine Camp Randall Stadium successful Madison, Wisconsin. Alabama hit Wisconsin 42-10.

• Milroe: +1300 (+800)

Shocked to spot Milroe still connected this list? Don’t be. At BetMGM he accounts for 7.5 percent of nan full Heisman handle, which intends nan books won’t beryllium lowering his likelihood overmuch much until Alabama’s playoff hopes are dormant and buried. After what happened past postseason, nan wait-and-see attack is understandable. The Tide still person classed matchups nan adjacent 2 weeks (No. 21 Missouri, No. 8 LSU) and nan Iron Bowl to adjacent retired nan season. Those are immoderate narrative-building games that won’t beryllium lacking eyeballs.

Don’t stake connected Milroe, but don’t count him retired conscionable yet, either.

Allar’s numbers aren’t precisely eye-popping. He’s thrown for 1,492 yards, 11 touchdowns and 4 interceptions pinch different 121 yards and 3 scores rushing. Yet he’s nan motor down an discourtesy that ranks ninth successful nan state successful yards per crippled (471.2) and nan 6-0 Nittany Lions person a comparatively easy schedule to adjacent retired nan season.

Aside from a location crippled against No. 4 Ohio State successful Week 10, Penn State’s toughest tests will beryllium Week 9 astatine Wisconsin and Week 13 astatine Minnesota. We’ll propulsion Week 12 astatine Purdue successful location arsenic well, because duh, but if James Franklin messes this up he should astir apt find a caller job.

Georgia backmost Carson Beck (15) throws nan shot during nan 2nd half his team’s 2023 crippled against Florida astatine Everbank Stadium successful Jacksonville, Fla.

A enarthrosis wounded has wounded Hunter’s chances much than Colorado’s 2 losses, but according to caput coach Deion Sanders, nan two-way prima is overmuch healthier this week and expected to make a overmuch larger effect against Cincinnati than he did astatine Arizona.

Don’t publication excessively overmuch into nan flimsy driblet successful Gabriel’s likelihood this week.

It’s safe to opportunity nan bye week sewage Cam Ward afloat recharged for Miami’s agelong run. The backmost out-dueled Louisville connected nan roadworthy past week successful a chaotic shootout win, tossing for 319 yards and 4 touchdowns.
