It’s not even just SEC bias. If the Trojans had our resume? Williams wins the Heisman hands down. If Oregon had our resume? Nix wins the Heisman, hands down.

Both of those schools would be #1 seeds with our resume also.

My only hope is that the voters are smarter than the odds makers and betters.

I don't think there is as much of a respect gap with Oregon as you seem to think. We were ranked ahead of Oregon all year, even when we were both undefeated. If Bo Nix was had struggled against Arizona State, Oregon State and WSU like Penix did, he would be no where close to winning the Heisman hands down. Even if the Ducks had squeaked out both games against us and were undefeated.

Jayden Daniels, LSU QB: -1400 (bet $10 to win $10.71 total)
Michael Penix Jr., Washington QB: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)
Bo Nix, Oregon QB: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)
Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State WR: +20000 (bet $10 to win $2,010 total)

Jayden is such a heavy favorite that if you placed a $10 bet and he wins you would net $0.71 :lol:

Probably what you would have got if you took the money line on Oregon to win the P12 championship game and they had won.

The award in and of itself is a huge deal for Penix and for the University of Washington, which has never had a Maxwell Award winner since the trophy has been given out dating back to 1937.

But the Maxwell Award has typically been a precursor to the Heisman Memorial Trophy, which will be announced Saturday evening. Penix is one of four finalists for the Heisman along with LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

The last four Maxwell winners have also won the Heisman. Eight of the last nine players to win the Maxwell have also taken home the Heisman that same year, and 10 of the last 13 have as well. The last winner of the Maxwell to not win the Heisman was Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who finished second in Heisman voting to Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray.
