What channel is the Heisman Trophy ceremony tonight? Time, TV schedule for presentation

Sahil Kurup, USA TODAY NETWORK

The end of conference championship weekend sparks a new question for fans in the college football world: Who will win the Heisman Trophy for the 2023 season?

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels is the current favorite to come away with the trophy after throwing 40 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season, earning SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors from numerous voting bodies, including the USA TODAY Network, the Associated Press and the conference itself. He has also won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given annually to the nation's top upperclassman quarterback.

However, three other finalists have put up strong cases to be considered for the Heisman Trophy as well.

Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. led his Huskies to an undefeated season and the No. 2 seed for the College Football Playoff. Oregon quarterback Bo Nix threw 40 touchdowns and three interceptions and earned the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year award. Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. grabbed 15 touchdowns and swung the momentum of several games into the Buckeyes' favor from the receiver position.
