Winning the Heisman is the kind of validation every QB needs and everyone is running the rat race to be No. 1. However, when it comes to the Colorado Buffs, aren’t they different from every other team? The way Shedeur Sanders praises Travis Hunter is so selfless! Although Shedeur’s being missing in the Heisman conversation is “just funny,” to Deion Sanders, when Shedeur was asked the same question, he praised Hunter and supported his chances of winning it. However, following week nine’s games, the Heisman scenario is far from what we were expecting.

It’s been two days since ESPN ran a poll and asked the fans to vote for the Hunter vs. Ashton Jeanty question. If you’re still unaware, these two were the most talked about players in the Heisman conversations this year. Even the results of the poll were quite surprising, with Jeanty winning 57% of votes compared to Hunter’s 26%. The result of this poll says a lot! About Hunter’s declining fame in college football and Jeanty’s leading popularity.

However, the latest Heisman odds on caesars shared by Mike Rodak on ‘X’ say differently. Not only did Hunter and Jeanty’s odds change, but their names were left behind by two emerging stars. According to Caesars’ odds, Travis Hunter holds +325 odds to win the race, while Ashton Jeanty is +450 odds, behind Hunter. With that, two other guys hold higher odds than Hunter and Jeanty.

What we’re going to reveal next will blow your mind! Because college football’s No. 1 team, the Oregon Ducks quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, tops the Heisman ranks with +240 odds to win! Followed by Miami Hurricanes, Cam Ward, who’s second on that list with +280 odds to beat the rest of the QBs like Hunter and Jeanty. But how is all that made possible? Probably looking at their overall performance this season, especially in last week’s games. Let’s compare Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward’s games.

Why do Ward  & Gabriel hold higher odds than Travis Hunter?

Gabriel not only stands first on the Heisman odds but he is now second all-time in passing touchdowns and several other criteria. Gabriel led his team to another victory on Saturday with a 38-9 win over Illinois. Gabriel made waves, completing 18 of 26 passes for 291 yards while scoring three touchdowns and an interception.

On the other hand, Cameron Ward ranked high on the Heisman after a win over Florida State. He entered the week nine game sitting on the top of the FBS quarterbacks with an overall 2538 total passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns. after a convincing 36-14 win over Miami, it is moving into the season with an 8-0 unbeatable record and their QB’s strong chances of winning Heisman.

Although at first it seems like these guys are holding high odds against Hunter and Jeanty, it’s important to remember that in reality Hunter just bounced back with the Buffs’s win over Cincinnati on Saturday. Especially after he back-flipped in the end zone, posing like Spiderman, followed by his first receiving score.

After Hunter got hurt in his shoulder, a rumor started circulating in college football that Hunter’s Heisman odds were also fading away with this injury, but look at him after week nine. It’s just a start for him. Deion’s star boy is not going anywhere, so take a chill pill guys, and wait for a few weeks to see his magic!
