Overview

  • Betting markets moved Sayin to the top spot entering Week 11, with prices reported at roughly +175 (BetMGM) and +180 (FanDuel).
  • The redshirt freshman has 2,188 passing yards with 23 touchdowns and three interceptions while leading 8-0 Ohio State to the CFP’s No. 1 ranking.
  • PFF lists Sayin as its Heisman pick with a 93.1 grade, noting his completion rate would set the NCAA single-season record if it holds.
  • Ohio State launched a “We Sayin Heisman” campaign, and Sayin was named a semifinalist for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award.
  • The race remains a four-quarterback contest with Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), Ty Simpson (Alabama) and Marcel Reed (Texas A&M), with this weekend’s slate highlighting Reed at Missouri, Indiana at Penn State and Ohio State at Purdue and a potential OSU–Indiana title game viewed as a likely decider.
