Shedeur Sanders Heisman Trophy Odds after Week 6 of College Football

Shedeur Sanders is the starting quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes and has had the success to begin the 2023 season with his name mentioned in the Heisman Trophy conversations.

Sanders began the year helping Colorado pull off a big upset over TCU, with the Buffaloes starting the season 3-0. Although Colorado lost two straight games, the Buffaloes rebounded in Week 6 with a victory over Arizona State.

Although Colorado is 4-2 heading into Week 7, Sanders is still a longshot to win the Heisman.

Travis Hunter made the case for Shedeur Sanders to win the Heisman

When Colorado was 2-0 to begin the season and set to play Colorado State, the entire college football world watched them.

Ahead of the matchup, ESPN's "College GameDay" was in town and asked the Buffaloes' star wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter why Shedeur Sanders should be in the Heisman conversation.

"He's dominated every game we have played so far," Hunter responded. "He has thrown for over 900 yards already in the last two games against great competition. I mean, no interceptions, seven touchdowns. It can't get any better than that."

Since then, Colorado has gone 1-2, undoubtedly impacting Sanders' Heisman odds.

The Buffs next take on their Pac-12 rivals, the Stanford Cardinal, at Folsom Field on Friday, Oct. 13. The game begins at 10 p.m. ET and will be shown live on ESPN.
