The biggest addition to this list came by subtraction when Stanford's Bryce Love decided to forgo the 2018 NFL Draft and return to The Farm for his senior season. He actually opened as the odds-on favorite to bring home the hardware next year, but has since slipped just slightly behind a pair of running backs that were also sensational a season ago.

Some interesting tidbits to note after looking over the Heisman odds for 2018:
- Alabama QB Tue Tagovailoa is second on the list despite playing only two quarters of meaningful snaps last season.
- Arizona's dynamic signal-caller Khalil Tate is sixth even though he rode the bench for the first four games last year before exploding on the scene with 1,411 rushing yards at 9.2-per carry.
- Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State and (surprisingly) West Virginia are the only schools to have multiple players represented.
- Only one non-Power 5 player made the cut in Ed Oliver of Houston.
- Only two defensive players are on the list, and both possess the longest odds to win.
