College Football Award Semifinalists

[tsweezy]

Hello everyone! Now that we are entering the home stretch of the season, it's time to present your semi-finalists for the first annual College Football Awards! Now these are just the positional awards here, larger ones like the Maxwell and Heisman trophy are going to be handled separately. For these, each award will have ~8-10 semifinalists which will then be narrowed down to ~3-5 finalists after conference championship games. Voting will be open to select the winner from the finalists, with tiebreakers using my secretly developed "performance" score.

Also, there will be no awards for individual offensive line play because I can't even imagine how to suss that out. Also, these lists are not strictly in best - > worst order (although some are )

 

With that said, let's get unveiling!

KRod is da man!!!!!

Did I read that right?? No Matt Howard? Wow!

[Sarge]

Thanks for doing this sweezy!

[tsweezy]

I triple checked, and his stats are only good because he throws the ball so much. Cut it all in half and he’s right in line with the 10-15 QBs

Not bad for a 3-7 Team

[Wahoo]

Seems about right for us. 3 offensive players (and O-Line) but nothing on defense.
