Coach of the Year: Bill Snyder, Kansas State. Here's a team that doesn't do anything very well, but they won 8 games by 7 points or less and finished 10 - 2. True, they did it in the softest BCS conference this side of the Big East (which shouldn't even be a BCS conference), but still, this is a team that really should have won only 6 games, at best, but Snyder out-coached glamor boys like Mack Brown and beat bigger boys like A&M, and figured out a way to beat Robert Griffin III. I wouldn't be surprised if Snyder finds a way to beat Ar-Kansas in the Cotton Bowl. Runners-Up: Les Miles, 13 - 0 against a brutal schedule. Ron English, winning 6 games at Eastern Michigan is like winning 13 games at LSU. Mike London, Virginia came out of nowhere to win 8 games. Honorable Mention: Dabo Swinney, the Jim Schwartz of College Football, nobody has a bigger chip on his shoulder in the college game, listen to his classic bitter, resentful, sarcastic response to Steve Spurrier's mocking of Clemson (starts at 1:48):
A guy like this could never coach at a place like Michigan. Unfortunately. Thank God.
Flop Coach of the Year: Mike Sherman, Texas A&M. Pre-season #8, finishes 6 - 6 in a crappy conference. Sherman coached every big game like Bill Buckner fielded ground balls in the 10th inning of a World Series Game 6. Runners-Up: Will Muschamp, Florida. Jimbo Fisher, Florida State. Mack Brown, Texas. Dishonorable Mention: Randy Edsall. Ha ha ha. . .Maryland is the laughingstock of college football after forcing out obese coach Ralph Friedgen (after a 9 win season) in favor of this coaching lemon. Maryland was the biggest turd of the season, finishing a disgraceful 2 - 10 under the misguidance of Edsall.
Heisman: No contest. Robert Griffin III. Baylor beats Oklahoma, TCU and Texas?? Look at Baylor's record next year to see how good Griffin was. It will be a shame if Griffin loses to Plowhorse Trent Richardson. Tell me what Alabama's record would have been this year without Richardson. That's right: 11 - 1. Eddie Lacy would have done exactly what Richardson did. There was nothing at all remarkable or special about Richardson's season. Any average running back would have done the same. Runners-Up: Montee Ball, Wisconsin. Far better year than Richardson. Jordan White, Western Michigan. Whitney Mercilus, Illinois. Freshman of the Year: Sammy Watkins, Clemson.
Top Ten:
1. LSU
2. Oklahoma State
3. Alabama
4. USC
5. Oregon
6. Boise State
7. Ar-Kansas
8. South Carolina
9. Georgia
10. Stanford
Richardson is good but his offensive line is better.
