The latest odds for the Heisman Trophy have Florida sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow listed as a heavy favorite at 1-4 by Bodoglife.com, followed by Arkansas running back Darren McFadden at 4-1 and West Virginia quarterback Pat White at 5-1.
At Sportsbetting.com, Tebow's odds are 1-3 with McFadden at 5-1 and White 8-1. Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel is at 4-1 and Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing is at 6-1.
Tebow, who has led Florida (8-3) to at least 30 points in nine games, has emerged as a Heisman front-runner with 26 touchdown passes and 20 rushing touchdowns.
He has completed 68.5 percent of his passes for 2,870 yards and rushed for 749 yards.
On Saturday, Tebow will showcase his talents against Florida State (7-4), which has been outscored, 75-34, in losing three consecutive games to the Gators.
Florida is listed as a 14-point favorite and the Gators are 7-1 against the spread in their last eight games against teams with winning records.
But McFadden and White still have a shot to overtake Tebow if Seminoles linebacker Geno Hayes is correct in the prediction he made to reporters: "Tim Tebow is going down this week. Ya'll put that down. That is our attitude."
McFadden will get his chance today when Arkansas (7-4) plays at No. 1 Louisiana State (10-1). The Razorbacks are 13-point underdogs.
Two of college football's hottest teams will face off tonight when undefeated Hawaii plays host to one-loss Boise State.
Oddsmakers have made the Warriors three-point favorites over the Broncos, but Hawaii has had trouble covering the spread this season. Despite a 10-0 record, the Warriors are 3-5 against the spread, including a dismal 1-4 over their last five games.
