The 2023 Heisman Trophy race has narrowed to two primary contenders with just two weeks remaining before the vote:

Current Odds:

• CJ Stroud (-200)
• Bryce Young (+150)

CJ Stroud's Path to Victory:

• Must win next two games to become strong favorite
• Loss to Michigan would hurt chances significantly
• Faces two elite defenses on big stages
• Doesn't need record-breaking performances - solid games and wins should suffice
• Early dominance could secure votes before Young's SEC Championship game

Bryce Young's Path to Victory:

• Needs two consecutive wins with 28+ points per game
• Strong performance against Georgia's defense is crucial
• Could become favorite regardless of Stroud's results
• Alabama win + Stroud loss would strengthen position
• Must overcome offensive line challenges against Georgia

Dark Horse Candidates:

• Will Anderson could surpass Young if:
  • Alabama wins defensive battle vs Georgia
  • Stroud loses one of final two games
  • Has stats to attract voters' attention

The award will likely go to either Stroud or Young, with Stroud holding the current advantage due to scheduling and momentum. Recent performance and high-profile games in the final weeks will be decisive factors.
