Smith Commands Heisman Market
After opening at 15-1, the Ohio State receiver has shortened to +110 following a 34-game career that includes new school marks for receiving yards, receptions and touchdowns. A recent outing against a stout defense produced 11 catches for 206 yards and two scores, including a 54-yard reception through multiple defenders. The market has moved quickly, and the current price leaves little room for additional value.
Alabama's Path Faces Next Test
The program moved from 23-1 to +1150 after a road result that also lifted its quarterback from +1600 to 8-1. The performance showed balance and defensive strength, yet the next opponent presents a stiffer challenge that will determine whether the shorter prices hold.
Oklahoma State Builds Big 12 Case
At 11-to-1 the Cowboys lead their league in total offense behind an explosive attack and a schedule that avoids several top defenses. Last year's 1-11 mark makes any turnaround notable, and the remaining slate offers realistic opportunities to stay in contention.
