And while Penix is very much in the mix, there's a new QB at the head of the pack. 

Let’s take a look at the players with the best odds to take home the 2023 Heisman Trophy heading into Week 11, according to Caesars Sportsbook.

Oregon looks like a team ready for a College Football Playoff run, and its star quarterback is getting the respect he deserves. 

Fifth-year senior Bo Nix is the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy after trailing Penix Jr. heading into Week 11. 

The Ducks defeated USC at home Saturday with Nix throwing for 412 yards and four touchdowns as Oregon won its fourth game in a row. 

"It was fun to sit out there and watch two elite quarterbacks battle it out," Oregon head coach Dan Lanning said of Nix, according to On3. "Obviously, we’ve got a really special one on our sideline. I think that’s a Heisman-worthy performance from Bo and fun to do it in front of the fifth-largest crowd ever here in Autzen Stadium."
