00:00Carson Beck's my guy here at 30 to one right now.
00:02And think about that.
00:04Like Georgia completes the comeback.
00:05What's the price for Carson Beck?
00:07Like Auburn this week and Auburn's not ranked,
00:09but Auburn's like a national team,
00:11like a nationally recognized team, right?
00:13Mississippi State cupcake game.
00:15Then against Texas,
00:17where they won that game and monster game.
00:19Like they got to play at Ole Miss,
00:22home against Eagle in Tennessee.
00:24Like might play Alabama twice more,
00:26once more obviously before the Heisman Trophy.
00:29Like it's all still in front of Carson Beck.
00:31And Beck was so bad at the beginning
00:32of the game against Bama,
00:34but got it going at the end,
00:35obviously in the second half.
00:37I'm a believer in Carson Beck at price.
00:39At 30, Carson Beck is a bet for me for the Heisman Trophy.
00:43Femi, who are you betting right now
00:44to win the Heisman Trophy in about a minute?
00:47So right now, I'll say this.
00:49Right now, I'm not betting anyone.
00:50I have bet Garrett Nussmeyer.
00:51We talked about that a couple of weeks ago.
00:52Like he's another one of those guys,
00:54home against Ole Miss, home against Alabama,
00:56home against Oklahoma to end the season.
00:58If they were on the table,
00:59they're in the SEC title game.
01:00Like there is a path for him,
01:01although the defense is terrible,
01:02but that's also why he has to throw like 350 yards
01:04and four touchdowns every game.
01:05It's because the defense is bad.
01:06Like it's going to be on that offense
01:07to go ahead and win games here.
01:09But I think, I want to have the Travis Hunter conversation
01:12because that's when I think it's really important
01:13because he was like the big mover in the market.
01:15It's not that he can't win.
01:17He can definitely win.
01:18And he is like the best player
01:19in college football for my money.
01:21But like, I almost feel like we did this a little bit
01:23last year with Marvin Harrison Jr.
01:25Where it's like, oh, like here's the best prospect.
01:27He's the best player.
01:28Let's vote him for the Heisman.
01:29And there's going to be momentum.
01:30There's going to be writers and people who are voter adjacent
01:33who talk about Travis Hunter.
01:34I know people have been out there every Saturday
01:36saying that this guy should win the Heisman
01:38regardless what Colorado's record is.
01:40That's just not how the award typically works.
01:42Like it usually has to go to a player
01:44that's on a winning team.
01:45And unless you believe Colorado can win like nine, 10 games
01:49at seven to one, I would never bet Travis Hunter.
01:51Once again, it's not to say that he can't win.
01:53It's just that would you want to bet on it seven to one
01:56that Colorado is going to be like a double digit
01:58win kind of team and be contending
02:00for the playoff in the Big 12?
02:02I can't get there in the games that I've seen from Colorado.
02:04Even though they're better than people thought, I can't do it.
02:06So the price is what the price is.
02:08They're on buy this week.
02:09So obviously don't bet it this week.
02:10But if you're interested in Travis Hunter,
02:12I think it's, you've missed the boat on that one.
02:14You should have bet him 50 to one before the season started.
02:16Not chasing seven to one,
02:17even though he is the best player in the country.
