Default Re: Heisman odds

For the record, I don't think Pinny adjusts these lines much if at all based on performance. They just leave them out there, and wait for people to bet them down if they get off somehow. I think the general trend would be to overvalue players like Quinn and Peterson that had hype going into the season and to undervalue players like Wolfe or Booty that are making names for themselves. With that said, I can't see the voters giving it to a USC player for the third year in a row, even if just to avoid the perception of bias.

Also, Pinny says lines for other players are available on request, so if you want to take a longshot like Chase Daniel or Erik Ainge, you might be able to get a good payout.
