The 2015 college football season might be 216 days away from kickoff, but it’s never too early to start placing some early bets on the Heisman winner.

Bovada released its early Heisman rankings and four — yes, four — players from Ohio State are among the top 13 players on the list.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott is the early player to beat with 6/1 odds, and quarterbacking teammates Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller come in with 14/1, 16/1 and 18/1 odds respectively.

It’s interesting that the folks in Vegas are banking on Jones as the starter and Miller to likely be the odd man out. It’s a good thing Miller's not transferring…

Elliott is just ahead of Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott and LSU running back Leonard Fournette, who are both 7/1. TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin (15/2) and USC quarterback Cody Kessler, Georgia running back Nick Chubb and UCLA running back Paul Perkins each are at 12/1 to round out the top five in terms of odds.

It’s easy to like Elliott because of how well he played in the second half of his first season as starter and because he should be totally healthy in 2015. Elliott played the entire 2014 season with a broken wrist that needed surgery this offseason.

Prescott had trouble with turnovers in 2014 and Fournette didn’t have very good quarterback play to help open up the running game. Boykin and Chubb, who are both coming off tremendous seasons, could be the other two in the top five to give Elliott a run for his money.
