Futures markets
MAC
Kent St +1400 still in play as they sit atop the East. Toledo, Western Michigan are DEED. MAC West is an UPSIDE-DOWN POUND CAKE.
AAC
Houston +1300 in great shape to make the title game. SMU +2800 barely alive.
National Championship
Both choices still in the mix. Georgia +880 looks solid. Oklahoma +800 is lurking.
Mountain West
Nevada +450 and San Diego St +1600 are tied atop their division.
Heisman
Bryce Young +250 appears to have been a decent additional play added during the season. Matt Corral +3450 in an absolute warrior but is playing hurt and is without several key weapons. Heisman season, yo. No clear-cut fav.
