Tue 8/15 Odds To Win 2006 Heisman Trophy 101 Brady Quinn (Notre Dame) +297 102 Adrian Peterson (Oklahoma) +450 103 Troy Smith (Ohio State) +1000 104 Steve Slaton (West Virginia) +1500 105 Chris Leak (Florida) +1800 106 Mike Hart (Michigan) +2000 107 Darius Walker (Notre Dame) +2200 108 Ted Ginn (Ohio State) +2300 109 Michael Bush (Louisville) +2500 110 Marshawn Lynch (Cal) +3500 111 Kenny Irons (Auburn) +3500 112 Chad Henne (Michigan) +3700 113 Drew Tate (Iowa) +3700 114 Brian Brohm (Louisville) +4325 115 Kenneth Darby (Alabama) +5000 116 Kyle Wright (Miami) +5499 117 Blake Mitchell (South Carolina) +5999 118 Drew Weatherford (Florida State) +5999 119 Drew Stanton (Michigan State) +6499 120 JaMarcus Russell (LSU) +7999 121 Reggie Ball (Georgia Tech) +7999
Why is Reggie Ball up there and no Calvin Johnson... Reggie is only as good as Calvin makes him... and yes they got my $10!
No, Reggie Ball is as good as he makes himself and he is a playmaker. I do agree that Johnson should get consideration, but as we all know, it's more likely that a QB wins over a WR.
I believe that is for a $100 bet. Therefore, the odds on Quinn would be about 3:1, and JR would be 80:1. Seems to me that the odds on Chris Leak are a bit skewed. There is no way on God's Green Earth that Leak can win the Heisman running the Urban Assault at UF. RP would have better odds of winning while observing from our sideline.
Foxsports lists JR @ #35 on its top 100 Heisman Candidates list, AB and JV are tied at # 61 which is odd; http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/5746512
