Overview

• Caesars Sportsbook lists Moore as the favorite at +750 entering Week 6, followed by Ty Simpson (+950), Jeremiah Smith (+1000) and Carson Beck (+1100).
• Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer underwent a procedure on his throwing hand and is expected to miss about a month, removing an early favorite from near-term contention.
• Week 5 signature wins reshaped the field as Moore led Oregon past Penn State in double overtime and Simpson guided Alabama to a road victory at Georgia, with Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss surging after beating LSU.
• Prominent rankings moved Moore to the top, with updates from Bleacher Report, CBS Sports discussions and Robert Griffin III’s list underscoring a fluid, narrative-driven race.
• Non-QB bids remain notable yet uphill as Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith sits near the top tier, while Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia gain traction ahead of marquee October tests.
