Overview
- BetMGM lists Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Alabama’s Ty Simpson tied for the shortest Heisman odds entering Week 10, reflecting their recent form and team records.
- FanDuel’s market, cited by CBS Sports, frames the chase as a six‑man tier led by Big Ten and SEC quarterbacks, with Mendoza, Ohio State’s Julian Sayin and Simpson clustered at the front.
- Robert Griffin III’s personal rankings push Georgia Tech’s Haynes King to No. 1 after he accounted for five touchdowns versus Syracuse, with BYU freshman Bear Bachmeier slotted at No. 5.
- Bachmeier has led 8‑0 BYU with 1,693 passing yards and 11 touchdowns plus 408 rushing yards and nine scores, and he leads Big 12 quarterbacks in rushing touchdowns.
- Analysts note few marquee opportunities this week and remind voters receive ballots before conference title games, heightening the value of any late ‘Heisman moment’ on remaining schedules.
