The five Heisman Trophy finalists have been announced and odds have been posted. The big event goes down this coming Saturday at 8 p.m. EST on ESPN.

The last time there were five finalists invited to New York was back in 2004 when USC quarterback Matt Leinart won the big prize.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has become the first player to be invited to the Heisman Trophy ceremony three times. He is a long shot, however, with +1500 odds.

Mark Ingram, who rushed for 1,542 yards and scored 15 touchdowns for Alabama, is the current favorite at -350 odds.

Colt McCoy was last year’s runner-up to Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford.  He has led Texas to the BCS national championship game this season. He is listed to win at +125 odds, which would pay $125 for every $100 bet, or $12.25 for every $10 bet.

Ndamukong Suh came in at +500 odds and Toby Gerhart was listed at +300.
