There is no more prestigious individual award in college football than the Heisman Trophy. It has very little to do with NFL success but in terms of the college season it is intended to highlight the most outstanding player in the country.
What it turns into, unfortunately, the best quarterback on one of the best teams typically gets this honor. Based on the preseason betting odds, there’s a good chance this will be the case again this season with the SEC leading the way. They currently have six of the top eight best odds to win the award according to BetMGM.
